CVE-2026-116059 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the LetsRecover WordPress plugin versions 1.2.0 and below. The plugin fails to sanitize a user-supplied value used as a database column name in an unauthenticated AJAX action. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code into the query and read arbitrary data from the database.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the LetsRecover plugin version 1.2.0 or below is installed on your WordPress site. Inspect network traffic for unauthenticated AJAX requests to the vulnerable endpoints. Look for suspicious SQL-like payloads in parameters used as database column names.

This includes user credentials, personal information, or other confidential data stored in the database. The impact includes potential data breaches, unauthorized access, and compromise of user accounts.

Compliance Impact
