The Youzify – BuddyPress Community, User Profile, Social Network & Membership Plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.2.5 are vulnerable to SQL Injection via the order_by shortcode attribute. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements for user input. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this to append malicious SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no impact on integrity or availability.

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing unauthorized reading of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the order_by shortcode attribute. Monitor official Youzify communications for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
