MEDIUM CVE-2026-15344 Deferred

WP Photo Album Plus table export permits administrator SQL injection and CSRF

WP Photo Album Plus through 9.2.04.002 is vulnerable in its WordPress AJAX table-export path. The wp_ajax_wppa callback selects wppa-action=export-table and reads the attacker-controlled table request parameter without a nonce. Although the handler requires wppa_user_is_admin(), it passes table to wppa_export_table(), where it is interpolated into DESCRIBE and SELECT COUNT(*) SQL statements without an identifier allowlist or prepared placeholder. An Administrator can therefore append SQL and extract sensitive database information; because the export request has no nonce, an attacker can also trigger the operation by inducing a logged-in Administrator to submit a forged request. Version 9.2.04.003 restricts table to the plugin's seven expected database tables before running the export queries.

CWE-89 — Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

This CVE was published Jul 29, 2026 and is one of 27 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update WP Photo Album Plus to 9.2.04.003 or later. Review authenticated admin-ajax.php requests with action=wppa and wppa-action=export-table, and investigate unexpected CSV files in the plugin temp export directory.

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 WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'table' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.2.04.002 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. The export-table endpoint lacks a nonce check, meaning this vulnerability can also be triggered via CSRF by tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious page.
