Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-39479 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that enables Blind SQL Injection in the Brainstorm Force OttoKit suretriggers WordPress plugin. The issue affects OttoKit versions from n/a through 1.1.20 and is associated with CWE-89.

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). Exploitation is possible over the network with low attack complexity, requiring high privileges but no user interaction. Successful attacks result in high confidentiality impact through data extraction via blind SQL injection, a changed scope, and low availability impact.
