What is CVE-2026-15361?

The Content Views plugin for WordPress, prior to version 4.5, is susceptible to a SQL injection vulnerability due to insufficient capability checks on specific AJAX operations. This flaw allows authenticated users, including those with minimal privileges like Subscribers, to execute unauthorized SQL commands. Furthermore, the plugin fails to correctly sanitize data provided by users before incorporating it into SQL queries, potentially leading to data breaches and manipulation. Website owners using this plugin should update to the latest version to mitigate any associated risks.
