Summary
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via the 'q' parameter of the wpForo integration AJAX selector (action gamipress_wpforo_get_posts) in versions up to, and including, 7.9.7. The value is passed only through $wpdb->esc_like() and interpolated directly into a single-quoted LIKE clause with no %s placeholder, allowing the attacker to break out of the string and inject boolean-based SQL.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with a Subscriber account can perform SQL injection, potentially reading or modifying data in the WordPress database.
Recommendation
Upgrade the GamiPress plugin beyond version 7.9.7 when available and consider restricting Subscriber account privileges.
Other vulnerabilities in GamiPress
See all- CVE-2026-59538Critical
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress version 7.9.7 and earlier contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability.
- CVE-2026-16091Medium
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress up to version 7.9.9.1 contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the 'gamipress_rank' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
- CVE-2026-16090Medium
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored XSS via the 'heading_size' shortcode attribute in 'gamipress_achievement'. Attackers with contributor-level access can inject arbitrary scripts that execute when a user visits the page.
- CVE-2026-13450Medium
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress up to version 7.9.4 is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) via the 'access' parameter due to missing validation on a user-controlled key. Unauthenticated attackers can view private GamiPress activity logs, including badge earnings, points balance changes, and events from integrated plugins like WooCommerce, LearnDash, and BuddyPress.
- CVE-2026-48874High
GamiPress versions up to 7.8.7 contain a SQL Injection vulnerability that can be exploited by subscribers.
- CVE-2026-24546Medium
Missing authorization in the GamiPress plugin allows exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels. The vulnerability affects versions from n/a through 7.6.3.
Original NVD description (English source)
The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via the 'q' parameter of the wpForo integration AJAX selector (action gamipress_wpforo_get_posts) in versions up to, and including, 7.9.7. The value is passed only through $wpdb->esc_like() and interpolated directly into a single-quoted LIKE clause with no %s placeholder. Because esc_like() runs after WordPress core magic quotes, it doubles the injected backslash (\' -> \\'), which MySQL reads as one literal backslash followed by a live closing quote, allowing the attacker to break out of the string and inject boolean-based SQL. The wpForo plugin only needs to be active to register the callback; no wpForo vulnerability is used. Requires a Subscriber account, which can read the gamipress_admin nonce (exposed on every admin page, e.g. /wp-admin/profile.php). Note: the researcher's Simple:Press vectors (PoC 2 & 3) do not reproduce in current code, which uses $wpdb->prepare() with %s placeholders; only the wpForo selector is confirmed.
