CVE-2026-12360
Deferred Deferred - Pending Action
SQL Injection in JetEngine WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-06-17

Last updated on: 2026-06-17

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The JetEngine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection in all versions up to and including 3.8.10.1. The listing_load_more AJAX handler accepts a filtered_query parameter that is intentionally excluded from the HMAC query signature check to support front-end filter integration. However, meta_query row values within filtered_query are not sanitized before being merged into SQL construction. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform time-based or boolean blind SQL injection by appending a malicious meta_query value to a Load More AJAX request captured from any public Listing Grid page.

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 JetEngine plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in its listing_load_more AJAX handler where the filtered_query parameter is not properly sanitized. This parameter is excluded from the HMAC query signature check to allow front-end filter integration, but meta_query row values within filtered_query are merged directly into SQL queries without sanitization. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to perform time-based or boolean blind SQL injection attacks by appending malicious meta_query values to AJAX requests.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated attackers to execute SQL injection attacks on your WordPress site using the JetEngine plugin. Such attacks can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data leakage, or manipulation of the database. Although the CVSS score indicates no impact on integrity or availability, the confidentiality impact is high, meaning sensitive information could be exposed.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks, potentially exposing sensitive data stored in the WordPress database. This exposure could lead to unauthorized access to personal or protected information, which may violate data protection regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA that require safeguarding personal and health-related data.

Specifically, the SQL injection vulnerability in the JetEngine plugin could compromise the confidentiality of data, thereby impacting compliance with standards that mandate strict controls over data access and protection.
