An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16593 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-2026-16593/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16593/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16593","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16593/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16593","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vj8p-cr6v-v7p3"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with Editor+ privileges can execute SQL injection attacks via Elementor widget settings in the WP Directory Kit plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 through 1.5.7 does not sanitize and escape some widget settings before using them in a SQL statement, allowing authenticated users with access to the page builder (Editor and above) to perform SQL injection attacks that execute when the affected page is rendered.","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= 1.5.7 - Editor+ SQL Injection via Elementor Category and Location Widget Settings","id":"CVE-2026-16593","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+ Plugin Settings and API Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16594"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.5.7 - Contributor+ Non-Public Listing Field Disclosure via Shortcodes","id":"CVE-2026-16592"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2026-09-15","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":"2026-09-15","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with Editor+ privileges can execute SQL injection attacks via Elementor widget settings in the WP Directory Kit plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16593/"}
