MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the plugin's static-page search feature to be explicitly enabled - this is the concrete gating condition stated in the description and the reason for AC:H. The target must run SPS-Suite version ≤1.4.0. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), so any anonymous visitor can submit the malicious search input over the network once the feature is active. The primary limiting factor is that the vulnerable search feature is not necessarily enabled by default, which narrows the exposed population; SSVC further rates the attack as not automatable. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a real-but-conditional issue rather than an urgent priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (6.8, AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H) shows an unauthenticated, network-reachable SQL injection with high confidentiality impact, but AC:H flags a meaningful precondition - the static-page search feature must be enabled - which is corroborated by the description ('when its static-page search feature is enabled'). This is reinforced by CISA SSVC, which rates Exploitation as 'none' (no observed active exploitation), Automatable as 'no', and Technical Impact as 'partial' - a decidedly non-emergency SSVC profile. A public exploit exists via WPScan, but POC availability is distinct from active exploitation: there is no KEV listing and no EPSS score provided, so widespread automated abuse is not evidenced. Net assessment: a legitimate unauthenticated SQLi worth patching, but its non-default feature dependency, AC:H, and 'not automatable' SSVC rating make it a moderate rather than critical real-world priority. Note a minor inconsistency to verify: the vendor set S:C (scope change) with C:H/I:N/A:N, whereas a search-driven SELECT-based SQLi typically maps to S:U - the scope-change choice is debatable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates a WordPress site running SPS-Suite ≤1.4.0 with the static-page search feature enabled and submits a crafted search query that is concatenated unsanitized into a backend SQL statement. By manipulating the query, the attacker extracts sensitive database contents such as user records or credential hashes. A public exploit/technical writeup is available from WPScan, lowering the effort to reproduce. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 28, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the SPS-Suite WordPress plugin through version 1.4.0 allows remote attackers to extract sensitive data from the WordPress database when the plugin's static-page search feature is enabled. The vulnerability requires that specific search feature to be explicitly activated, which narrows the exposed population, but publicly available exploit code exists and no authentication or user interaction is needed once the feature is on. CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as none and the attack as not automatable, and there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV status: no); the primary risk is confidentiality impact, with no integrity or availability effects.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The primary compensating control is to disable the plugin's static-page search feature, which eliminates the vulnerable code path at the cost of removing that search functionality from the site. Site administrators should monitor the WPScan advisory for an official fix and apply any available update when released. As a secondary defense, deploy a web application firewall (WAF) configured with SQL injection rules to block malicious payloads, though WAFs are not a substitute for patching and can be bypassed. Additionally, review WordPress database permissions to limit the impact of a successful injection.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The SPS-Suite plugin for WordPress fails to sanitize a user-supplied search query before incorporating it into a SQL statement, resulting in a CWE-89 SQL injection vulnerability. This flaw is present in versions up to and including 1.4.0. The attack is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N), but has high attack complexity (AC:H) because the plugin's static-page search feature must be enabled for the vulnerable code path to be reachable. The vulnerability only affects confidentiality (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact, and the independent assessment rates scope as unchanged (S:U). The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:unknown:sps-suite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the affected component is the SPS-Suite plugin, with the vendor field marked as 'unknown'.

The SPS-Suite WordPress plugin through 1.4.0 does not sanitise the search query before using it in a SQL query when its static-page search feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.
