CVE-2026-16094

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

The Invisible Anti-Spam & CAPTCHA — reCAPTCHA Alternative for All Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'key' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de editor y superior, añadan consultas SQL adicionales a consultas ya existentes que pueden utilizarse para extraer información sensible de la base de datos."
