Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-39497 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that enables Blind SQL Injection in the RealMag777 FOX woocommerce-currency-switcher WordPress plugin. The issue affects FOX plugin versions from an unspecified starting point through 1.4.5 and was published on 2026-04-08.

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 exploitation over the network with low attack complexity, requiring high privileges, and no user interaction. High-privileged attackers can leverage this to achieve high confidentiality impact through data extraction via blind SQL techniques, with a changed scope, no integrity impact, and low availability impact.
