Custom Field Template <= 2.7.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection via 'post_ID' Parameter
CVSS 3.1 6.5 MEDIUMCheck source for fixed versionsKEV status unknown
cve-program · CVE-2026-9855
PublishedThe Custom Field Template plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'post_ID' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The capability check via current_user_can('edit_post', $id) is bypassable because WordPress internally casts $id to an integer for the permission evaluation while the full unsanitized string is preserved and passed to the SQL sink, and a valid nonce — which is also required — can be legitimately obtained by any Contributor-level user from the post edit screen.

Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.
Risk history
Compare earlier KEV listings and daily EPSS scores. Advisory wording and affected versions have a separate history.
When does an EPSS score appear as a change?
A prediction change is reported when EPSS rises from below 10% to 10% or higher. Other daily score changes remain in this history.
Advisory history
1 saved versionsSee how the publisher's advisory changed over time. Each link opens the version saved at that time. The publisher's update date can differ from the date shown here.
How advisory history works
Each link identifies one complete publisher record. History can include advisories that previously shared an identifier; an identifier removed by a publisher no longer establishes a current relationship. A historical link shows only that record and earlier saved versions. Failed checks and unchanged reads do not create new versions.
