CVE-2026-18653WP Directory Kit < 1.5.7 - Admin+ SQL Injection via section Parameter

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown WP Directory Kit. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.7 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, allowing administrators to perform SQL injection attacks. On a multisite installation this lets an administrator of a single site read data belonging to the entire network, which they are not otherwise able to reach.
