CVE-2026-5062

The PrettyLinks plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows attackers with Administrator-level access to inject malicious SQL code into the database. This occurs when a user inputs data into the 'search' field on the plugin's listing page, which is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones. As a result, attackers can potentially extract sensitive information from the database.
