Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16589 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Directory Kit. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16589/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16589/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16589","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16589/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16589","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hf26-5fpg-7r9w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can execute SQL injection via the data_fields_list parameter in WP Directory Kit, allowing unauthorized database access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.5 does not sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement through one of its authenticated AJAX actions, which lacks authorization and nonce checks, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to perform SQL injection attacks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection via data_fields_list Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-16589","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Subscriber+ Contact Message and User Data Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16590"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.5.4 - Authenticated (Custom+) SQL Injection via 'order_by' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-16588"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2026-08-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can execute SQL injection via the data_fields_list parameter in WP Directory Kit, allowing unauthorized database access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16589/"}
