CVE-2026-15281: User Access Manager <= 2.3.12 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection

Published Aug 5, 2026

Updated

The User Access Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Second-Order SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter of the wpajaxsave-attachment-compat AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 2.3.12. This is due to insufficient validation on the objectId value stored in the saveAjaxAttachmentData() function and subsequent unparameterized concatenation in the addQueryExcludedPostFilter() function — the stored value is later retrieved from the database and used as an array key, then directly imploded into a SQL NOT IN() clause without integer casting or prepared statements. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Affected Software

1 affected component
WordPress User Access Manager plugin<=2.3.12

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade wordpress/User Access Manager to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 2.3.12
  2. Compensating control

    Because the issue affects User Access Manager versions up to and including 2.3.12, restrict wp-admin/wp_ajax access (or any authenticated access to the WordPress AJAX action wp_ajax_save-attachment-compat) to trusted users to reduce exposure to subscriber+ attackers.
