WordPress Core SQL Injection Vulnerability. Actively exploited: CISA added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 21/07/2026. Patch affected systems as an emergency.
| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| wordpress | ≥ 6.8, < 6.8.6≥ 6.9, < 6.9.5≥ 7.0, < 7.0.2 | 6.8.66.9.57.0.2 |
WordPress 6.8.x before 6.8.6, 6.9.x before 6.9.5, and 7.0.x before 7.0.2 does not properly sanitise the author__not_in parameter of WP_Query, which could allow SQL Injection when a plugin or theme passes untrusted input to the parameter.
