CVE-2026-12918

What is known

The Mail Mint – Email Marketing, Newsletter, Email Automation & WooCommerce Emails plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'recipients' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.24.1 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. This is a second-order SQL injection: the malicious payload is first stored unsanitized via a POST request to /mrm/v1/campaigns/ (bypassing filter_recipients() validation because an int-cast of a string like '1) OR ...' evaluates to a real numeric ID), and is then triggered by a subsequent GET request to /mrm/v1/campaigns/{id} that deserializes the recipients and passes the raw id string through array_column() into the vulnerable query.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-12918, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 4.9) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
