{"id":"CVE-2026-15439","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-15439","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T03:23:16.592Z","title":"The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via the 'q' parameter of the wpForo integration AJAX selector (action gamipress_wpforo_get_posts) in versions up to, and including, 7.9.7.","description":"The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via the 'q' parameter of the wpForo integration AJAX selector (action gamipress_wpforo_get_posts) in versions up to, and including, 7.9.7. The value is passed only through $wpdb->esc_like() and interpolated directly into a single-quoted LIKE clause with no %s placeholder. Because esc_like() runs after WordPress core magic quotes, it doubles the injected backslash (\\' -> \\\\'), which MySQL reads as one literal backslash followed by a live closing quote, allowing the attacker to break out of the string and inject boolean-based SQL. The wpForo plugin only needs to be active to register the callback; no wpForo vulnerability is used. Requires a Subscriber account, which can read the gamipress_admin nonce (exposed on every admin page, e.g. /wp-admin/profile.php). Note: the researcher's Simple:Press vectors (PoC 2 & 3) do not reproduce in current code, which uses $wpdb->prepare() with %s placeholders; only the wpForo selector is confirmed.","published":"2026-09-11T16:17:06.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-11T18:16:56.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-89"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00399,"percentile":0.33945,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%).
