id: CVE-2026-5073

info:
  name: WordPress ARMember Premium <= 7.3.1 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'order' and 'orderby' parameters and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the `arm_get_directory_members()` function.
  impact: |
    This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
  remediation: |
    Update ARMember Premium to version 7.3.2 or later.
