CVE-2026-8444 — WP Review Slider Pro security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.8

The WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'curselrevs[]' parameter of the wpfb_find_reviews AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 12.6.8. This is due to the handler reading $_POST['curselrevs'] raw with no sanitization or type casting, then concatenating each array element directly into a `WHERE id IN ( ... )` clause without quoting and executing via $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Matched remediation archetype

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
