Operationally, ranked in the top 0.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

The Email Subscribers by Icegram Express plugin for WordPress contains a SQL injection vulnerability in all versions through 5.7.20. The flaw resides in the handling of the hash parameter, where insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and the absence of prepared statements allow an attacker to append additional SQL clauses to existing database queries.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting that no authentication, user interaction, or special conditions are required for successful exploitation.

Public references point to a patched version of the file lite/includes/db/class-es-db-lists-contacts.php released through the WordPress plugin repository, indicating that updating the plugin to a version beyond 5.7.20 addresses the weakness.

The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.9285 with a recorded peak of 0.9313.
