MEDIUM CVE-2026-15671 Deferred

SMS Alert subscriber campaign permits administrator-level SQL injection

SMS Alert through 3.9.7 exposes an SQL-injection path on its manage_options All Subscriber page. All_Subscriber_List::processBulkAction() reads selected ID request values for the sa_sub_sendsms bulk action and passes them as post_ids to template/sms_campaign.php; the template interpolates each value directly into a subscriber SELECT query. An Administrator can inject SQL and extract database data. SMS Alert 3.9.8 casts the identifier with absint() and parameterizes the queries. The CNA calls the parameter id; upstream code uses the selected ID request field.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update SMS Alert to 3.9.8 or later. Review Administrator activity and subscriber-campaign actions for suspicious identifiers or bulk-send requests.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Source record

Technical description

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 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 administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
