CVE-2026-89195Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthenticated database disclosure via unescaped email query

Published Oct 11, 2026 · Updated Oct 11, 2026

SQL injection in Site Setup Wizard 1.5.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data via crafted AJAX requests. The ssw_check_admin_email_exists handler interpolates admin_email into a users-table SELECT after sanitize_email rather than SQL escaping or parameterization. The plugin must be active and its AJAX endpoint reachable; the required nonce is published in frontend scripts, so the wizard's login requirement does not protect this handler.
