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 uListing plugin by StyleMix (versions <= 2.2.0) to be installed and active on a network-reachable WordPress site; no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed, so default installations are exposed to remote attackers. The limiting factor is that the attack is confined to sites actually running this specific plugin version. The Patchstack description does not name the exact vulnerable parameter, request endpoint, or any required non-default configuration, so the precise injectable input is unconfirmed and would need verification against the plugin source or vendor advisory. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue on signal convergence, though with notable data gaps. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes the worst-case exposure profile for a web vulnerability: remote, network-reachable, low-complexity, and - critically - unauthenticated (PR:N), matching the description's explicit 'Unauthenticated SQL Injection' claim, so the CVSS and description agree. The 9.3 score is driven largely by S:C (scope change) combined with C:H; interestingly, Patchstack rated I:N and A:L, implying the identified injection primarily enables data disclosure rather than authenticated write/modification, which is somewhat conservative for a SQLi (many SQLi flaws also permit data tampering). No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and no public POC is referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis - this tempers urgency relative to a KEV-listed flaw. Net: unauthenticated SQLi in a WordPress plugin is a classic mass-scannable target class, so patching should be prioritized where the plugin is deployed, but the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC data means this is a 'patch promptly' rather than 'emergency' item, and the real-world footprint of the uListing plugin limits blast radius. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running uListing <= 2.2.0, injecting malicious SQL through an unsanitized parameter to read sensitive database contents such as user records and credential hashes. Because no authentication or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N) and complexity is low, the request can be automated and sprayed across many sites. No public exploit code is referenced at time of analysis, so weaponization would require an attacker to first identify the specific vulnerable parameter. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in StyleMix's uListing WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 2.2.0, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL into the site's backend database queries via an insufficiently sanitized plugin input. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) means any network-reachable WordPress installation with the plugin active is exposed without credentials or user interaction, with confidentiality impact rated high and limited integrity impact; availability is unaffected. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) were identified at time of analysis, and the exact vulnerable parameter, request endpoint, and any required non-default configuration remain unconfirmed by the available Patchstack advisory, so the practical attack surface should be verified against the plugin source or vendor documentation.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version number is identified in the available intelligence, so the primary action is to confirm whether an update beyond 2.2.0 has been published by StyleMix and apply it immediately; check the plugin's WordPress.org page and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ulisting/vulnerability/wordpress-ulisting-plugin-2-2-0-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a patched release, since 2.2.0 and earlier are confirmed vulnerable. If the plugin is not business-critical, the most reliable mitigation is to deactivate and delete it, accepting the loss of the listing functionality it provides. Where the plugin must stay in service, apply virtual patching or a WAF rule set that blocks SQL metacharacters and UNION/stacked-query patterns on requests reaching the plugin's endpoints, understanding that generic SQLi signatures are prone to false positives on legitimate search and filter traffic and can be bypassed by encoding tricks. Because the vulnerable parameter is not publicly named, hardening should also include disabling any unused uListing REST routes, shortcodes, or front-end submission forms, and, as a detection measure rather than a fix, reviewing database and web logs for anomalous SELECT/UNION payloads and monitoring for unexpected reads of wp_users and plugin tables. If the site was internet-exposed with the plugin active for an extended period, treat credential and secret rotation as warranted, since a successful injection could expose password hashes and session data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection in a third-party WordPress plugin. WordPress plugins run in PHP and typically query MySQL/MariaDB through the $wpdb abstraction layer; when attacker-controllable request data (for example a shortcode attribute, REST/AJAX parameter, or search/filter value) is concatenated directly into a SQL fragment instead of being passed through $wpdb->prepare() with placeholders, or is passed as an unquoted identifier to methods such as $wpdb->get_results(), arbitrary SQL can be smuggled into the statement. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:stylemix:ulisting:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the StyleMix uListing product line generically, and the advisory scopes the flaw to releases 2.2.0 and earlier. The vendor/coordinator score (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L) differs from our independent assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) chiefly on scope and on whether availability or integrity is the secondary impact; both agree the flaw is remotely reachable, unauthenticated (PR:N), and low-complexity, and both rate confidentiality impact as High, consistent with an injection that can exfiltrate database contents such as WordPress user hashes, session tokens, and plugin-managed listing data. The precise injectable parameter is not named in the Patchstack report, so the root-cause detail is inferred from the vulnerability class rather than confirmed in the advisory text.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated SQL Injection in uListing <= 2.2.0 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The StyleMix uListing WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 2.2.0, contains a critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability that could allow attackers to extract sensitive data from the site's database, including user credentials and proprietary information. This affects any organization hosting a WordPress site with the plugin active, and with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, immediate mitigation is required to prevent potential data breaches.
Disable the uListing plugin until a vendor-released patch is available; implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the plugin's endpoints; restrict database user privileges to read-only where possible; enable database activity monitoring and review logs for signs of exploitation.
