Summary
The Simply Poll 1.4.1 plugin for WordPress contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to extract database information by injecting SQL code through the 'pollid' POST parameter. Attackers can send requests to the admin-ajax.php endpoint with the 'spAjaxResults' action and malicious 'pollid' values to execute arbitrary SQL queries and read sensitive data from the WordPress database.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential theft of sensitive data such as user passwords, API keys, or personal information, which could lead to a breach of system confidentiality and integrity.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Simply Poll plugin to the latest available version or remove it entirely if not essential. Additionally, consider implementing WAF rules to block suspicious requests to admin-ajax.php.

- CVE-2026-75816Critical
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover in all versions up to and including 3.29.12. The pre_update_value function lacks capability or ownership checks, and ActionPost::conditions_logic() short-circuits the current_user_can('edit_post') authorization gate when the post ID is non-numeric, allowing unauthenticated form submissions to be routed to arbitrary user records. This enables unauthenticated attackers to overwrite any user's email address, including an administrator's, and then use WordPress's native password-reset flow to take over the account.
