Received Received - Intake
Time-Based SQL Injection in wpForo Forum Plugin Allows Data Exposure

Publication date: 2026-02-19

Last updated on: 2026-02-19

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'wpfob' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.14 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.

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 wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress has a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'wpfob' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.4.14. This occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input and does not sufficiently prepare the existing SQL query. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries to the original query.

This allows attackers to extract sensitive information from the database by manipulating the SQL queries executed by the plugin.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive information from your database by exploiting the SQL Injection flaw. Since the attacker does not need to be authenticated, this increases the risk of data exposure.

The impact includes potential leakage of confidential data, which could compromise user privacy and the integrity of your system.
