CVE-2026-96822Network attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via book-category search

Published Sep 30, 2026 · Updated Sep 30, 2026

SQL injection in Hossni Mubarak Books Gallery 4.8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter database queries through book-category search. The publisher identifies insufficient validation and database query handling in that search functionality but does not publish the exact parameter or query. Exposure requires a WordPress site running the plugin with book-category search available to visitors; the published notice does not establish database extraction or modification.
