What is CVE-2026-13191?

The Create plugin for WordPress suffers from a SQL Injection vulnerability via the 'order_by' parameter present in all versions up to and including 2.5.3. Due to inadequate escaping of user-supplied inputs and insufficient preparation in the SQL queries, authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher can inject additional SQL commands. This vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the database. Moreover, the default permission for the REST endpoint callback is set to 'publish_posts', enabling any Author-level user or above to exploit this weakness without extra prerequisites.

Affected Version(s)

Create 0 <= 2.5.3
