CVE-2026-104724 fireplugins CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for WordPress installations with the FireBox plugin should assess exposure and prioritize verification of the plugin version. They should also consider implementing compensating controls and monitoring for suspicious activity. Roles such as security administrators, WordPress administrators, and incident responders should be aware of this vulnerability and its potential impact.

Why it matters

The SQL Injection vulnerability in the FireBox plugin for WordPress allows authenticated attackers to potentially extract sensitive information from the database, disrupting database operations. Defenders should prioritize verification of the plugin version, implement compensating controls, and monitor for suspicious activity.

• Potential extraction of sensitive information from the database.
• Possible disruption of database operations.
• Need for verification of plugin version and implementation of compensating controls.
• Potential for lateral movement if attacker gains access to sensitive information.

Technical summary

The FireBox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via FireBox Form Display Condition in versions up to, and including, 3.1.13. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with author-level access and above to append additional SQL queries into existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying the version of the FireBox plugin and ensuring that it is updated to a version beyond 3.1.13 if possible. They should also monitor for any suspicious database queries and implement compensating controls such as restricting access to the plugin's functionality and enhancing logging and monitoring.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify the version of the FireBox plugin and update to a version beyond 3.1.13 if possible.
• Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to authorized personnel.
• Enhance logging and monitoring to detect suspicious database queries.
• Implement compensating controls such as web application firewalls to detect and prevent SQL injection attacks.
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
