CVE-2013-1408

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—💥 Exploit

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the Wysija Newsletters plugin before 2.2.1 for WordPress allow remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) search or (2) orderby parameter to wp-admin/admin.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged using CSRF to allow remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.31%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
