Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2015-10122 is a SQL injection issue in the WordPress wp-donate Plugin versions 1.0 through 1.4. A logged-in remote user may be able to affect database confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The source bundle names version 1.5 as the fix. There is no KEV listing or provided evidence of active exploitation.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation for any public WordPress site using affected wp-donate versions, especially where untrusted users can authenticate. The issue is not KEV-listed in the provided bundle, but SQL injection against donation-related functionality can create data and operational risk.
Technical view
The vulnerability affects includes/donate-display.php in wp-donate Plugin up to 1.4. The CVSS v2 vector is AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P, indicating remote, low-complexity exploitation requiring authentication. The weakness is CWE-89 SQL Injection. Patch commit 019114cb788d954c5d1b36d6c62418619e93a757 is cited as resolving the issue.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running wp-donate Plugin versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. Sites not using this plugin, or already upgraded to version 1.5, are not identified as affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The sources state the attack can be initiated remotely, but the CVSS vector requires single authentication. No provided source says this CVE is in CISA KEV or actively exploited in the wild. Treat exploitation status as unconfirmed unless later vendor or threat intelligence confirms it.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sufficient for affected versions, weakness type, authentication requirement, and fixed version. The bundle does not identify exact vulnerable parameters, exploit availability, or observed exploitation. Avoid assuming unauthenticated reachability despite the remote attack wording because the CVSS vector includes Au:S.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade wp-donate Plugin to version 1.5 or later.
- Remove or disable the plugin if it is no longer needed.
- Confirm the deployed code includes the cited patch commit.
- Check vendor or WordPress plugin guidance for any additional remediation.
Validation and detection
- Inventory WordPress sites for the wp-donate Plugin.
- Confirm installed plugin versions are not 1.0 through 1.4.
- Verify includes/donate-display.php reflects the patched release.
- Review application and database logs for suspicious authenticated donation-page activity.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
