Official Description

The ElementCamp plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'meta_query[compare]' parameter in the 'tcg_select2_search_post' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.6. This is due to the user-supplied compare value being placed as an SQL operator in the query without validation against an allowlist of comparison operators. The value is passed through esc_sql(), but since the payload operates as an operator (not inside quotes), esc_sql() has no effect on payloads that don't contain quote characters. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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-2026-2503 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.
