CVE-2026-5097

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress versions prior to 2.4.18

Description Unauthenticated attackers can perform SQL Injection, a technique where malicious SQL statements are inserted into entry fields for execution, by manipulating the referer parameter. This occurs because the plugin does not sufficiently escape user-supplied input or properly prepare the SQL query, allowing the addition of unauthorized queries to extract sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations Update the plugin to version 2.4.18 or later. Avoid using the referer parameter until the update is applied.
