An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16959 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Media Library Assistant. 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-2026-16959/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16959/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16959","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16959/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16959","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qg9r-vw9x-vfr5"],"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":"An attacker with Author role can perform SQL injection via the search connector, potentially reading or modifying database content.","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 Media Library Assistant WordPress plugin before 3.40 does not validate a search parameter before concatenating it into a SQL query in one of its media-library query handlers, allowing users with the Author role to perform SQL injection.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-16959.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Media Library Assistant \u003c 3.40 - SQL Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Media Library Assistant \u003c 3.40 - Author+ SQL Injection via mla_search_connector","id":"CVE-2026-16959","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":"Loops \u0026 Logic \u003c 4.3.0 - Unauthenticated User Data and Site Option Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16960"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16958"},"products":["Media Library Assistant"],"published":"2026-08-21","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-21","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An attacker with Author role can perform SQL injection via the search connector, potentially reading or modifying database content.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16959/"}
