An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-18473 exists.\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-2026-18473/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18473/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-18473","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18473/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-18473","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pjj3-mrpj-62ch"],"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":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the field_search parameter in WP Directory Kit, potentially accessing or modifying database contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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 properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by unauthenticated users.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection via 'field_search' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-18473","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 1.5.6 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection via search_location and search_category","id":"CVE-2026-18474"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Login \u0026 Register Forms \u003c 4.0.2 - Unauthenticated Registered User Email Address Disclosure via Lost Password Response","id":"CVE-2026-18470"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2026-08-09","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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the field_search parameter in WP Directory Kit, potentially accessing or modifying database contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18473/"}
