WordPress < 7.0.2 - Facilitated SQL Injection via author__not_in in WP_Query

CVE-2026-60137GHSA-fpp7-x2x2-2mjf

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (wordpress 7.0.2, 6.9.5, 6.8.6; wordpress-multisite 7.0.2, 6.9.5, 6.8.6), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

WordPress 6.8.x before 6.8.6, 6.9.x before 6.9.5, and 7.0.x before 7.0.2 does not properly sanitise the author__not_in parameter of WP_Query, which could allow SQL Injection when a plugin or theme passes untrusted input to the parameter.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-60137

Advisory: WordPress < 7.0.2 - Facilitated SQL Injection via author__not_in in WP_Query
IDs: CVE-2026-60137, GHSA-fpp7-x2x2-2mjf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-60137 (revision 3, source checked 7 Nov 2026, 06:35 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: confirmed: listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: wordpress 7.0.2, 6.9.5, 6.8.6; wordpress-multisite 7.0.2, 6.9.5, 6.8.6. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Bitnami wordpress: affected >= 6.8.0, < 6.8.6; >= 6.9.0, < 6.9.5; >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.2; fixed in 6.9.5, 7.0.2, 6.8.6
- Bitnami wordpress-multisite: affected >= 6.8.0, < 6.8.6; >= 6.9.0, < 6.9.5; >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.2; fixed in 6.9.5, 7.0.2, 6.8.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Bitnami wordpress: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Bitnami wordpress-multisite: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on wordpress, wordpress-multisite.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
