# WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin: SQL injection by users with Listing Admin role

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118420 (this .md is for agents)

The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.6.3 passes an unsanitised parameter into a SQL statement. A logged-in user with the custom Listing Admin role or higher can run SQL injection against the site's database.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed WP Directory Kit plugin version in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or in `wp-content/plugins/` for the plugin's version header.
- Check whether the site has a custom Listing Admin role in use.

## Fix

- WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin: `1.6.3` (any version before 1.6.3 is affected)

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11T06:25:41+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-118420

## From the sources

The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.6.3 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, making it possible for users holding the WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.6.3's custom Listing Admin role, and above, to perform SQL injection attacks.
