CVE-2025-10185: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in webaways NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress
The NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in the action nf_load_form_entries in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.6 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 may be exploitable by lower-level users if access is granted by a site administrator.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10185 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from insufficient escaping of the 'orderby' parameter in the nf_load_form_entries action, allowing authenticated users with high privileges to append malicious SQL queries. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 9.1.6. Exploitation requires at least administrator-level access, though lower-level users might exploit it if granted access by an administrator. No patch or remediation details have been provided by the vendor.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Administrator-level privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact availability or integrity according to the CVSS vector, but it compromises confidentiality. Lower-privileged users may exploit it if given sufficient access by administrators. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the plugin's administrative functions to trusted users only. Review and limit user privileges to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor for vendor updates and apply patches promptly once available.
