SQL Injection in Easy Property Listings WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-11-13

Last updated on: 2026-11-13

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Easy Property Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'post_type' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.28 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The sanitize_text_field() function is applied to the attribute value but does not escape single quotes, providing no mitigation against breaking out of the SQL IN('...') literal.

CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

The Easy Property Listings WordPress plugin up to version 3.5.28 has a SQL Injection flaw in the 'post_type' parameter. Due to improper escaping and lack of query preparation, authenticated attackers with contributor access or higher can inject malicious SQL queries. This allows them to extract sensitive database information by breaking out of the SQL IN clause.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the Easy Property Listings plugin version 3.5.28 or lower is installed on your WordPress site. Inspect server logs for unusual SQL query patterns or errors related to the 'post_type' parameter. Use WordPress admin access logs to identify unauthorized database queries or suspicious activity from contributor-level users or above.

Impact Analysis

If you use the vulnerable plugin, attackers could steal sensitive data from your WordPress database, such as user credentials, personal information, or other confidential content. They could also potentially escalate privileges or manipulate site content.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and exposure of personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and confidentiality. Organizations may face legal penalties and reputational damage if such breaches occur.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Easy Property Listings plugin to the latest version. If an update is unavailable, consider disabling the plugin temporarily. Review and restrict contributor-level user permissions to limit access. Monitor database queries and server logs for signs of exploitation.
