SQL Injection in AI Copilot Content Generator WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-23

Last updated on: 2026-07-23

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'order[0][dir]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.4 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. The required waic-nonce is emitted on the front-end whenever the [waic_form] or [aiwu-form] shortcode is rendered, enabling contributor-level users who can publish shortcodes to obtain a valid nonce and reach the vulnerable AJAX handler, which performs no capability check beyond nonce verification when the shortcodes are not already embedded in a 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 AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin for WordPress has a SQL Injection vulnerability in versions up to 1.5.4. The issue is due to insufficient escaping of the 'order[0][dir]' parameter and lack of proper SQL query preparation. This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive database information.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect WordPress sites using the AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin versions up to 1.5.4. Check for unusual SQL queries or database access patterns. Enable WordPress debug logs to monitor suspicious activity. Review server logs for unexpected requests targeting the vulnerable parameter 'order[0][dir]'.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to extract sensitive data from your WordPress database, such as user credentials, personal information, or other confidential data. The vulnerability requires at least subscriber-level access, but contributor-level users can obtain a valid nonce to reach the vulnerable AJAX handler if shortcodes are published.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and exposure of personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA compliance requirements. Organizations may face legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust due to data breaches resulting from such SQL Injection flaws.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the AI Copilot – Content Generator plugin to the latest version. If an update is unavailable, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Restrict subscriber-level and higher user roles to minimize attack surface. Monitor database queries for unauthorized access attempts.
