{"cve":"CVE-2026-5651","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-05T08:16:35.150","modified":"2026-08-12T21:00:37.147","status":"Deferred","description":"The Askeet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'sql_query' parameter in multiple AJAX actions (askeet_execute_sql_query, askeet_export_all_results) in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. This is due to the askeet_is_safe_query() filter being bypassable using MySQL conditional comments (e.g., /*!UNION*/). The filter strips regular block comments before checking for forbidden SQL keywords, but MySQL interprets conditional comments as executable code. 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/askeet/tags/2.5/askeet.php#L563","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/askeet/tags/2.5/askeet.php#L767","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/askeet/trunk/askeet.php#L767","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?new=3525593%40askeet%2Ftrunk&old=3521172%40askeet%2Ftrunk","https://wordpress.org/plugins/askeet/"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:47:10.050265369+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-5651","score":0.00507,"percentile":0.4332,"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).
