Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-32516 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability, specifically enabling Blind SQL Injection, in the Miraculous Core Plugin (miraculouscore) developed by kamleshyadav for WordPress. The issue affects all versions of the plugin from n/a through those prior to 2.1.2. It has been assigned 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) and is associated with CWE-89.

Low-privileged remote attackers, such as authenticated WordPress users with minimal permissions, can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows attackers to perform blind SQL injection, achieving high-impact confidentiality violations by extracting sensitive data from the database, alongside low-impact availability disruption, due to the cross-scope nature of the attack (S:C).

The Patchstack advisory for this vulnerability, available at the referenced URL, details the SQL injection flaw in the Miraculous Core Plugin and indicates that updating to version 2.1.2 or later resolves the issue.
