What is CVE-2026-14189?

The WPBot WordPress plugin, prior to version 8.5.2, is susceptible to SQL injection due to the failure to validate administrator-configured field identifiers before their use in SQL queries. This allows administrators, if compromised, to craft queries that can be executed when a visitor makes a search, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or operations.

Affected Version(s)

WPBot 0 < 8.5.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
