SQL Injection in Groundhogg WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-02

Last updated on: 2026-07-02

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'select' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.8 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 custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a Groundhogg custom role with the view_contacts capability, which is granted by default to several built-in Groundhogg roles above the base subscriber level.

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 Groundhogg plugin for WordPress, used for CRM, newsletters, and marketing automation, has a vulnerability in versions up to and including 4.5.8. This vulnerability is a generic SQL Injection caused by insufficient escaping of the 'select' parameter and inadequate preparation of the SQL query. Authenticated attackers with custom-level access or higher, who have the view_contacts capability, can exploit this flaw to append additional SQL queries to existing ones.

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

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database of the WordPress site using the Groundhogg plugin.

Since attackers with certain authenticated roles can exploit this SQL Injection, they may gain access to confidential data that they should not normally see.

The impact is rated with a CVSS base score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity with high confidentiality impact but no impact on integrity or availability.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with certain roles to perform SQL Injection attacks that can extract sensitive information from the database.

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