CVE-2026-4304
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe WeePie Cookie Allow plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'consent' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.11 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe WeePie Cookie Allow WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.4.11) contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the 'consent' parameter. The plugin fails to properly escape user input and does not use prepared statements, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the database.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the WeePie Cookie Allow pluginCheck your WordPress installation at wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'wepie-cookie-allow' or similar. You can also list installed plugins via WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='*cookie*'Affected if The plugin folder exists in your plugins directory
-
Identify the installed versionOpen the main plugin file (usually wepie-cookie-allow.php) and look for the version comment in the file header, or check the readme.txt file for the 'Stable tag' entryAffected if The version listed is 3.4.11 or earlier
-
Verify if the plugin is activeCheck your WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or query the wp_options table for the option_name 'active_plugins', or use WP-CLI: wp plugin status wepie-cookie-allowAffected if The plugin shows as 'Active' in WordPress
-
Confirm the vulnerable parameter existsExamine the plugin source code for the file handling the consent parameter (commonly in the main plugin file or a dedicated consent handler). Look for code that processes the 'consent' GET or POST parameter directly into an SQL query without prepare()Affected if The code directly uses the 'consent' parameter in a SQL query without using $wpdb->prepare() or equivalent escaping
Your environment is affected if the WeePie Cookie Allow plugin is installed, active, and the version is 3.4.11 or earlier, with the 'consent' parameter being processed unsafely in SQL queries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the WeePie Cookie Allow plugin to version 3.4.12 or later. If no update is available, manually escape the 'consent' parameter and convert the SQL query to use prepared statements.
WeePie Cookie Allow version 3.4.12 or later
- 1. Update the WeePie Cookie Allow WordPress plugin to the latest available version (version 3.4.12 or higher)
- 2. Verify the update was applied successfully through WordPress plugin management
- 3. Test the 'consent' functionality to ensure the plugin continues to work correctly after the update
- 4. Consider reviewing access logs for any signs of exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability
