Deferred Deferred - Pending Action
Time-Based Blind SQL Injection in ARMember WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-05-02

Last updated on: 2026-05-05

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The ARMember – Membership Plugin, Content Restriction, Member Levels, User Profile & User signup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.60 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.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

The ARMember WordPress plugin is vulnerable to a time-based blind SQL Injection through the 'orderby' parameter. This happens because the plugin does not properly escape user input or prepare SQL queries securely. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject additional SQL commands into existing database queries.

This vulnerability allows attackers to extract sensitive information from the database by exploiting the way the plugin handles the 'orderby' parameter.


How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to perform time-based blind SQL Injection, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.

Such unauthorized access to sensitive data could lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database. Since the attack is unauthenticated, anyone can exploit it remotely without needing valid credentials.

The impact includes potential data breaches where confidential user data or other sensitive information could be extracted, compromising the security and privacy of the affected website and its users.
