CVE-2026-8441 Details
Description
The WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'notinstring' parameter of the wprp_load_more_revs AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 12.7.2. The parameter is read via $_POST['notinstring'] and passed through sanitize_text_field() — which strips HTML and whitespace but does not provide SQL safety. The value is then concatenated directly into a numeric/unquoted `AND id NOT IN (...)` clause and executed via $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare() or intval() casting. Because the value sits in an unquoted numeric context, WordPress's wp_magic_quotes protection (which only escapes embedded quotes) is ineffective. The AJAX hook is registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_wprp_load_more_revs, and the required check_ajax_referer nonce is publicly available via wp_localize_script on any frontend page that renders the plugin shortcode, so an unauthenticated attacker who can reach a public page hosting the plugin can extract arbitrary data from the database via blind/time-based injection.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 12.7.2. The issue arises in the wprp_load_more_revs AJAX action, where the 'notinstring' parameter is processed. Although the parameter is sanitized to remove HTML and whitespace, this does not ensure SQL safety. The unsanitized value is directly appended to a numeric 'AND id NOT IN (...)' clause and executed with $wpdb->get_results(), lacking proper preparation or validation. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform blind or time-based SQL injection, extracting arbitrary data from the database.
Users are advised to update the WP Review Slider Pro plugin to version 12.7.3 or later.
