PatchSiren cyber security CVE debrief
CVE-2026-3781 tnomi CVE debrief
The Attendance Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'attmgr_off' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.6.2. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This vulnerability allows 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. The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a medium severity, and defenders should prioritize patching or mitigating this vulnerability.
