CVE-2026-1639
CWE-89Published: February 18, 2026· Updated: Feb 18, 2026
Official Description
The Taskbuilder – WordPress Project Management & Task Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'order' and 'sort_by' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-1639 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-89): SQL injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing or modifying sensitive data.
