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 an authenticated WordPress administrator account on a site running the Estatik plugin version 4.3.5 or earlier (PR:H); the attacker sends network requests to a vulnerable Estatik admin-side function with crafted SQL. The key limiting factor is the administrator prerequisite - on standard single-site installs an admin already has extensive database access, so this matters most in WordPress multisite, delegated-admin, or hardened environments where raw SQL access is not otherwise available. No user interaction is required (UI:N). |
| Impact | This is a CWE-89 SQL injection in the Estatik WordPress real estate plugin (<= 4.3.5), reported by Patchstack. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L, base 7.6) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw but explicitly requires high privileges (PR:H) - consistent with the description's 'Administrator SQL Injection,' meaning the attacker must already hold an administrator account. This significantly limits real-world risk: an administrator on a single-site WordPress install already has broad database and code-execution capability, so the primary added value is in multisite or delegated-role environments where an admin should not have raw SQL access, or where hardening (e.g. DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT) otherwise constrains admins. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The scope-change claim (S:C) and the reported 7.6 are debatable given the authenticated-admin precondition; this reads as a real-but-low-priority hardening issue rather than an urgent, widely-exploitable vulnerability. The C:H/I:N/A:L impact profile (data disclosure, minor availability, no integrity) is plausible for a blind/extraction SQLi. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained WordPress administrator credentials (via phishing, credential reuse, or a lower-privilege escalation) submits crafted input to a vulnerable Estatik plugin parameter, injecting SQL that is executed against the WordPress database to extract sensitive data such as user records or password hashes. No public POC is available, and exploitation requires an existing admin session, so this is realistic mainly in multi-admin or delegated-role deployments. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
SQL injection in the Estatik WordPress plugin (versions <= 4.3.5) allows an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to read sensitive data from the WordPress database. The vulnerability is a CWE-89 SQL injection in an admin-side function, requiring high privileges (PR:H) but no user interaction. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and the primary risk is in environments where administrator access is delegated or on multisite installations where raw database access is not otherwise available.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch with an exact version is identified in the provided data. Consult the Patchstack advisory for the latest fixed version and upgrade the Estatik plugin beyond 4.3.5 as soon as an update is available. Until a patch is applied, restrict administrator accounts to trusted users only, as exploitation requires high privileges (PR:H). In WordPress multisite or delegated-admin scenarios, this vulnerability could allow an admin to access data they would not normally have raw SQL access to, so audit admin permissions carefully. Consider deploying a web application firewall (WAF) to block SQL injection patterns in admin requests, though this may require custom rules and careful tuning to avoid false positives. Monitor database logs for anomalous queries from admin sessions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Estatik plugin is a real estate management solution for WordPress. The vulnerability is a SQL injection (CWE-89) in an administrative function, meaning that user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in a SQL query. According to the assessed CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L), an authenticated administrator can send crafted requests over the network to execute arbitrary SQL queries, leading to high confidentiality impact (database read), no integrity impact, and low availability impact. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:estatik:estatik:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the plugin is affected, with the vulnerability present in versions up to and including 4.3.5.

DescriptionCVE.org
Administrator SQL Injection in Estatik <= 4.3.5 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Estatik WordPress plugin (versions <= 4.3.5) contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to read sensitive data from the WordPress database. Organizations using this plugin, especially those with delegated administrator access or multisite installations, face potential data exposure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but leadership should prioritize remediation because a successful exploit could breach confidential information, though the high privilege requirement limits the attack surface.
Restrict administrator access to trusted users, disable the Estatik plugin if not required, implement a WAF with virtual patching for CVE-2026-96345, and monitor database activity for anomalous queries.
