CVE-2026-6453CubeWP Framework <= 1.1.30 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via 'relation_id' Parameter
Medium 6.5
In plain English
A medium-severity SQL injection in CubeWP Framework from cubewp1211. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.5% (higher than 41% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The CubeWP Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to and including 1.1.30. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the cubewp_remove_relation() AJAX function, specifically the use of wp_unslash() on the relation_id parameter before interpolating it directly into a raw SQL query without using $wpdb->prepare(). The wp_unslash() call explicitly removes the backslash escaping that WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() adds to all $_POST data, neutralizing the only layer of SQL injection protection. The sanitize_text_field() function applied afterward offers no SQL protection. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries to the existing query.
