Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A logged-in WordPress user could abuse the Xllentech English Islamic Calendar plugin’s date deletion function to inject SQL before version 2.6.8. That can expose or alter site database data depending on the user’s access and database permissions. Public sources do not show active exploitation or a CVSS score.
Executive priority
Treat this as a targeted WordPress exposure issue. Prioritize sites that allow broad user login or delegated content administration, then update or remove the plugin. Escalate if logs show suspicious authenticated activity.
Technical view
The flaw is CWE-89 SQL injection in the delete-date path. The year_number and month_number POST parameters were used in a SQL statement without sanitization, escaping, or validation. The source bundle identifies affected plugin versions as before 2.6.8 and requires authenticated access.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running Xllentech English Islamic Calendar before 2.6.8, especially where untrusted or low-privilege users can access plugin date deletion functionality.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. Exploitation requires authentication, which lowers internet-wide risk but still matters for sites with many users, weak accounts, or compromised credentials.
Researcher notes
The public record gives the vulnerable parameters and operation but not a CVSS score, exploit maturity, or detailed privilege requirement. Avoid assuming unauthenticated reachability. Validate role exposure in the specific WordPress deployment.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for Xllentech English Islamic Calendar installations.
- Upgrade versions before 2.6.8 according to vendor or plugin repository guidance.
- Disable or remove the plugin if it is not business-critical.
- Restrict plugin administration to trusted accounts only.
- Review database and WordPress backups before remediation work.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the installed plugin version on each WordPress site.
- Verify whether authenticated users can reach date deletion functionality.
- Review logs for unusual delete-date requests involving year_number or month_number.
- Use approved vulnerability scanning to identify vulnerable plugin versions.
- Check post-remediation that vulnerable versions are no longer present.
