CVE-2026-121536 Details
Description
The WP Data Access – App Builder for Tables, Forms, Dashboards, Charts & Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'engine' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.90 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is only exploitable when an administrator has configured a Data Project page to admit a lower-privileged role, which is the plugin's documented mechanism for sharing projects with subscribers and other users.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the WP Data Access plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 5.5.90. The issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'engine' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited to extract sensitive information from the database. The exploitation requires an administrator to have configured a Data Project page to allow lower-privileged roles, enabling the sharing of projects with subscribers and other users.
Users are advised to update the WP Data Access plugin to version 5.5.91 or a newer patched version.
