Elevated risk69th percentile - higher than 69% of all known CVEs
Summary
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress up to version 7.3.1 is vulnerable to SQL injection via the 'order' parameter of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action. Insufficient escaping and lack of proper SQL query preparation in the `arm_get_directory_members()` function allow unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can extract sensitive information from the database, such as user passwords, personal data, or API keys, leading to security and privacy breaches.
Recommendation
Immediately update the ARMember Premium plugin to the latest available version that includes a fix for the SQL injection vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in ARMember Premium
See all- CVE-2026-5076Critical
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress up to version 7.3.1 stores a plaintext password reset key in the `arm_reset_password_key` user meta field. Combined with other vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL Injection), this allows an attacker to take over any user account, including administrators.
- CVE-2026-27060High
The ARMember Premium WordPress plugin (versions before 7.6) has a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability allowing Object Injection.
- CVE-2026-5074Medium
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress up to version 7.3.1 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'sSortDir_0' parameter of the get_private_content_data AJAX action. Insufficient sanitization allows the parameter to be concatenated directly into the ORDER BY clause. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above can inject additional SQL queries to extract sensitive data. The vulnerability is only exploitable when the "User Private Content" addon is enabled (disabled by default).
Original NVD description (English source)
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'order' and 'orderby' parameters and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the `arm_get_directory_members()` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
