Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an active, authenticated WordPress session with Author-level role or higher on the target site - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible per the CVSS PR:L metric. The vulnerability exists in all FluentCRM Pro installations up to and including version 3.1.12 with no indication of a non-default configuration requirement; any site running the plugin within the affected version range is potentially vulnerable once the attacker satisfies the authentication prerequisite. Limiting factors: the attacker must possess or acquire a valid WordPress account with at minimum the Author role, which constrains opportunistic mass exploitation but is realistic in multi-author publishing environments or where account registration is open. The scope is unchanged (S:U), so impact is limited to the WordPress database accessible to the site's DB user and does not inherently pivot to the underlying OS.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 6.5 (Medium), accurately reflecting a network-reachable, low-complexity attack constrained by the requirement for Author-level WordPress credentials. The high confidentiality impact is the primary driver: a successful extraction can yield subscriber PII, email content, lead records, API keys stored in plugin settings, and potentially hashed WordPress credentials from the wp_users table. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, and the absence of a CISA KEV listing suggests exploitation has not been confirmed as widespread. No public proof-of-concept code was referenced. Despite the Medium CVSS rating, the practical risk is elevated in multi-author WordPress environments - a site with contributor or author accounts accessible to external parties (such as a guest-posting workflow) provides the necessary foothold - meaning even a mid-sized operator such as a municipal services portal in a city like swidnica running a FluentCRM-backed subscriber list should treat this as an urgent patching priority. Integrity and availability are not impacted per the CVSS vector, which is consistent with a read-only SQL injection pattern.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained or registered a WordPress Author account - for example through a guest-post program or a compromised contributor credential - crafts a malicious value in a FluentCRM Pro plugin parameter that appends a UNION-based or time-based SQL subquery. The injected query runs in the context of the WordPress database user, allowing the attacker to enumerate tables and dump sensitive records such as subscriber email addresses, CRM contact data, or hashed user passwords from wp_users. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, but CWE-89 injection patterns against WordPress plugins are well-documented and the technique is straightforward for any intermediate attacker.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 25, 2026

SQL injection in the FluentCRM Pro WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 3.1.12) enables authenticated attackers holding Author-level access or higher to append arbitrary SQL to existing queries and extract sensitive data from the WordPress database. Reported by Wordfence, the flaw stems from unsanitized user-supplied parameters passed into unparameterized SQL queries. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the high-confidentiality CVSS rating reflects meaningful exposure of subscriber lists, CRM data, and potentially credential material stored in the database.

RemediationAI

No exact fixed version number was confirmed in the available input data; the Wordfence advisory and the vendor site at https://fluentcrm.com/ should be consulted immediately for a patched release above 3.1.12. Site administrators should update the plugin as soon as a patched version is confirmed available. As a compensating control pending a patch, restrict the WordPress Author role to the minimum number of trusted accounts and audit existing Author-level users for unauthorized additions - this directly addresses the required privilege level. Additionally, a Web Application Firewall rule targeting SQL metacharacters in FluentCRM plugin endpoints can reduce exploitation risk, though WAF bypass is feasible for a determined attacker. Disabling the plugin entirely until patched is the most effective compensating control but disrupts email campaign and CRM functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) is the root cause: the plugin constructs SQL queries by concatenating user-supplied input without adequate escaping or use of WordPress's prepared-statement API (wpdb::prepare). The affected product, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:fluentcrm:fluentcrm_pro_-_email_newsletter,_automation,_email_marketing,_email_campaigns,_optins,_leads,_and_crm_solution:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is a premium WordPress plugin that manages email campaigns, CRM records, lead capture, and marketing automation - all of which store sensitive subscriber and business data in the shared WordPress MySQL database. Because WordPress plugins share a single database connection under the site's db prefix, a successful injection can reach any table in the installation, not merely FluentCRM's own tables.

DescriptionCVE.org

The FluentCRM Pro - Email Newsletter, Automation, Email Marketing, Email Campaigns, Optins, Leads, and CRM Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.12 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
