Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a critical SQL injection issue in the WordPress Neshan Maps plugin through version 1.1.4. A vulnerable site could expose its database to unauthorized reading or changes. The provided sources do not confirm active exploitation or name a fixed version.
Executive priority
Treat this as urgent for any public WordPress site using Neshan Maps. The impact rating is severe, and remediation should focus first on confirming installation and removing or updating vulnerable versions based on trusted vendor guidance.
Technical view
CVE-2022-47426 is CWE-89 SQL injection in Neshan Maps Platform Neshan Maps, package neshan-maps, affecting versions through 1.1.4. CVSS 3.1 is 9.8: network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running the Neshan Maps plugin at version 1.1.4 or earlier. Sites without this plugin, or with versions confirmed unaffected by vendor guidance, are not shown as exposed by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the supplied bundle. The sources support critical remote risk by CVSS vector, but they do not provide evidence of active exploitation, public exploit availability, vulnerable endpoints, or proof-of-concept details.
Researcher notes
The available bundle identifies product, package, affected ceiling, CWE, and CVSS, but lacks endpoint-level technical detail and a named fixed release. Avoid assuming exploitability beyond the CVSS vector and the Patchstack/CVE description.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the neshan-maps plugin and record installed versions.
- Check Neshan Maps or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.
- Disable or remove vulnerable plugin versions if no trusted fixed release is available.
- Review database permissions for the WordPress account and reduce unnecessary privileges.
- Use WAF and database monitoring as temporary compensating controls.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether each WordPress instance has the Neshan Maps plugin installed.
- Verify plugin version and flag installations at 1.1.4 or earlier.
- Check logs for unusual database errors or unexpected Neshan Maps-related requests.
- Confirm remediation by rechecking plugin inventory after update, removal, or disablement.
- Document systems where vendor guidance is unavailable or inconclusive.
