{"cve":"CVE-2026-17582","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-16T06:16:51.563","modified":"2026-08-20T12:48:10.287","status":"Deferred","description":"The Slider Hero plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to second-order SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 9.1.7 via the qcld_sliderhero_duplicate() function. Slide data (description, title, btn, btn2, image_link, custom, etc.) is stored safely via $wpdb->update() with %s placeholders in the qchero_save_image AJAX handler, but when an administrator triggers the 'heroduplicateslider' task, qcld_sliderhero_duplicate() re-reads every slide column and concatenates the raw values directly into an INSERT VALUES tuple that is then executed with $wpdb->query() — with no $wpdb->prepare(), esc_sql(), or _real_escape_string in between. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":4.9},"cwes":["CWE-89"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/slider-hero/tags/9.1.6/qcld-slider-main.php#L1206","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/slider-hero/tags/9.1.6/qcld-slider-main.php#L392","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/slider-hero/tags/9.1.7/qcld-slider-main.php#L1206","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/slider-hero/tags/9.1.7/qcld-slider-main.php#L392","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3635315%40slider-hero&new=3635315%40slider-hero"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-17582","score":0.00483,"percentile":0.41684,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
