Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-31917 is an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the weDevs WP ERP plugin for WordPress, stemming from improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. The issue affects all versions of the WP ERP plugin up to and including 1.16.10. Published on March 13, 2026, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant confidentiality impact across a changed scope.
A low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database (high confidentiality impact) and causing limited denial of service (low availability impact), with no direct integrity modification.
The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/erp/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-erp-plugin-1-16-10-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve provides details on the vulnerability, recommending mitigation through updating to a patched version of the WP ERP plugin beyond 1.16.10.
