Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-32418 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that enables Blind SQL Injection in the WordPress plugin Meow Gallery (also known as Jordy Meow Meow Gallery, meow-gallery). The issue affects all versions of the plugin from n/a through 5.4.4.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating it can be exploited over the network with low attack complexity by high-privileged users without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to achieve high-impact confidentiality violations, such as extracting sensitive data from the database via blind SQL injection techniques, alongside low availability impact and a changed scope affecting additional resources.
