Exploitation Conditions

Three specific conditions must all be true simultaneously: (1) The attacker holds a WordPress account at subscriber level or above - if public registration is disabled and no credentials can be obtained, exploitation is blocked at the PR:L requirement. (2) The [mpg_spintax] shortcode is rendered in site-wide content such as a footer widget, global template part, or reusable block - if the shortcode is only placed on individual campaign pages, the vulnerable code path in HookController is not reached for arbitrary URL requests, and injection is not possible. (3) The site is running MPG plugin version 4.2.1 or earlier. Sites that deploy the plugin but do not use [mpg_spintax] in any site-wide context are not exploitable regardless of plugin version or user role availability.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 6.5) accurately characterizes a network-reachable, low-complexity exploit requiring a minimum-privilege authenticated session; the confidentiality-only impact (C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects that this is a read-path injection with no write or availability consequence. The most significant real-world limiting factor is the shortcode deployment condition: sites using the plugin but placing [mpg_spintax] only on isolated campaign pages are not exposed, which meaningfully reduces the exploitable population compared to what a raw CVSS score implies. That said, a plugin designed for site-wide programmatic SEO is frequently configured with shortcodes in footers or global templates - precisely the condition that activates the vulnerability - so the practical risk is higher than the deployment condition might suggest. No KEV listing or public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and EPSS data was not provided in the available intelligence. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica running WordPress with this plugin for programmatic SEO campaigns should treat this as urgent if [mpg_spintax] appears in any site-wide component, since subscriber-level registration is commonly open to the public on content-heavy WordPress sites and a complete database dump represents a serious data-breach risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a free subscriber account on the target WordPress site, then requests any page where the [mpg_spintax] shortcode is rendered site-wide (e.g., the footer), crafting the URL path to include SQL injection payloads such as UNION SELECT clauses. The unsanitized path value is incorporated into the plugin's database query, returning data from arbitrary WordPress tables - including wp_users (login names and hashed passwords) and wp_options (API keys, secrets). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the injection pattern is standard and well-documented in the WordPress security community.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 12, 2026

SQL injection in the MPG - Multiple Page Generator WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.2.1) allows authenticated attackers holding only subscriber-level accounts to append arbitrary SQL into existing database queries via a crafted URL path, enabling full exfiltration of the WordPress database including password hashes, user PII, and stored credentials. The flaw originates in SpintaxController.php and Helper.php where URL-path parameters are interpolated into queries without adequate escaping or use of WordPress's prepare() API; the code path is only reachable when the [mpg_spintax] shortcode is rendered in site-wide components such as footers or template parts. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and an upstream fix has been committed to the WordPress plugin SVN repository (changeset 3687328) as reported by Wordfence.

RemediationAI

Update the MPG plugin to a version beyond 4.2.1; the upstream fix is committed in WordPress plugin SVN changeset 3687328 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3687328%40multiple-pages-generator-by-porthas&new=3687328%40multiple-pages-generator-by-porthas). The exact first patched release version number is not stated in available data, so verify the installed version against the WordPress plugin repository after updating. If immediate patching is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to remove the [mpg_spintax] shortcode from all site-wide components (footers, global template parts, widget areas) - this directly severs the vulnerable code path, though it disables spintax functionality. Disabling open subscriber-level registration eliminates the PR:L attack surface entirely but may conflict with site membership requirements. WAF rules targeting SQL metacharacters in URL paths can provide a supplementary layer but are not reliable as a standalone mitigation against all injection variants.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:themeisle:mpg_-_multiple_page_generator,_bulk_landing_pages_&_programmatic_seo, a WordPress plugin built for programmatic SEO and bulk landing-page generation. The root cause (CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) appears at SpintaxController.php line 66 and Helper.php line 215, where the URL-path value supplied by the visitor is used in a database query without sufficient escaping. HookController.php line 594 is the dispatch point that routes control to these vulnerable handlers. The vulnerability class is a classic append-style SQL injection: the attacker adds additional SQL clauses to an already-constructed query, making it possible to extract arbitrary rows from any table the WordPress database user can read. The exploitable code path is gated behind the presence of the [mpg_spintax] shortcode in site-wide rendering contexts, which means the HookController hook must fire on the requested page for the injection surface to be active.

DescriptionCVE.org

The MPG - Multiple Page Generator, Bulk Landing Pages & Programmatic SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via URL Path in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.1 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 subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is only exploitable when the [mpg_spintax] shortcode is rendered in site-wide content such as a footer or template part, as the vulnerable code path is only reached when the shortcode is active on the requested page.
