TIMELINE Aug 3 Reserved by WPScan Aug 15 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-18653 (Unknown WP Directory Kit). Public exploit reference added. Aug 16 Published (CNA: WPScan)
The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.7 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, allowing administrators to perform SQL injection attacks. On a multisite installation this lets an administrator of a single site read data belonging to the entire network, which they are not otherwise able to reach.
