SQL Injection in Taskbuilder WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-01

Last updated on: 2026-07-01

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'wppm_proj_filter' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.8 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 subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. No nonce verification is performed on the wp_ajax_wppm_view_project_tasks handler, meaning any authenticated session — including subscriber-level — can reach the vulnerable code path without any additional preconditions.

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 Taskbuilder plugin for WordPress, used for project and task management with a Kanban board, has a vulnerability in the 'wppm_proj_filter' parameter. This vulnerability is a generic SQL Injection affecting all versions up to and including 5.0.8. It occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input and does not sufficiently prepare the SQL query. As a result, authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can inject additional SQL queries into existing ones.

Additionally, there is no nonce verification on the wp_ajax_wppm_view_project_tasks handler, which means any authenticated session, even with low privileges, can exploit this vulnerability without extra conditions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to perform SQL Injection attacks. They can append malicious SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.

Because the vulnerability does not require high privileges or additional verification, it increases the risk of unauthorized data disclosure, potentially exposing confidential project or user data stored in the database.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to perform SQL Injection attacks that can extract sensitive information from the database.

Such unauthorized access and potential data extraction could lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding sensitive personal and health information.

However, the provided information does not explicitly detail the impact on compliance with these standards.
