{"cve":"CVE-2026-9848","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-13T03:16:22.017","modified":"2026-07-21T19:10:00.107","status":"Deferred","description":"The WP Ticket plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the WordPress search query parameter (`s`) in versions up to, and including, 6.0.4 The plugin hooks WordPress's `posts_request` filter with `wp_ticket_com_posts_request()`, which calls `emd_author_search_results()` when the current request is an unauthenticated front-end search. That function reads `$query->query_vars['s']` — already wp_unslash()'d by `WP_Query::parse_query()`, so wp_magic_quotes protection has been stripped — and concatenates the raw value into a SQL `LIKE` clause inside a UNION sub-SELECT appended to the main query, with no `$wpdb->prepare()` or escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-89"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-ticket/tags/6.0.4/includes/common-functions.php#L164","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-ticket/tags/6.0.4/includes/common-functions.php#L174","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-ticket/tags/6.0.4/includes/filter-functions.php#L22","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-ticket/tags/6.0.4/includes/query-filters.php#L57","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3565099/wp-ticket/trunk/includes/common-functions.php"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:38:48.522727527+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-9848","score":0.02057,"percentile":0.81295,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
