CVE-2025-10048 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the My auctions allegro plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.6.31. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements on the 'order' parameter, which is user-supplied. This improper neutralization of special SQL elements (CWE-89) allows an authenticated attacker with administrator-level privileges to append arbitrary SQL queries to existing database commands. The vulnerability enables extraction of sensitive information from the backend database, compromising confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 score is 4.9 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, but requiring high privileges and no user interaction. The scope is unchanged, meaning the vulnerability affects only the component itself without spreading. No integrity or availability impacts are noted. No public exploits have been reported, but the risk remains significant in environments where admin access is attainable. The vulnerability highlights the importance of input validation, use of parameterized queries, and least privilege principles in WordPress plugin development and deployment.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality of sensitive data stored in WordPress databases using the My auctions allegro plugin. Attackers with administrator access could extract customer data, transaction records, or other proprietary information, potentially leading to data breaches and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. Although the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability, the exposure of confidential information can damage organizational reputation and incur financial penalties. Organizations relying on WordPress for e-commerce or auction services are particularly at risk. The requirement for administrator privileges limits the attack surface but insider threats or compromised admin accounts could be exploited. European companies with limited access controls or outdated plugin versions are more vulnerable. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but proactive mitigation is essential to prevent future attacks.

1. Immediately update the My auctions allegro plugin to a patched version once available from the vendor. If no patch exists, consider disabling or replacing the plugin. 2. Enforce strict access controls to limit administrator privileges only to trusted personnel and regularly audit admin accounts for suspicious activity. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block anomalous SQL query patterns targeting the 'order' parameter. 4. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews of WordPress plugins to identify and remediate injection flaws. 5. Enable database logging and monitor for unusual query activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by WordPress, restricting their permissions to only necessary operations. 7. Educate administrators on secure plugin management and the risks of SQL injection vulnerabilities. 8. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools to detect and prevent injection attacks in real-time. These measures collectively reduce the likelihood and impact of exploitation beyond generic patching advice.
