CVE-2025-10586: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in jackdewey Community Events
The Community Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘event_venue’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.1 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 Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10586 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the Community Events plugin for WordPress by jackdewey. The issue exists in all versions up to and including 1.5.1, where the 'event_venue' parameter is not properly sanitized or prepared before being used in SQL queries. This allows authenticated attackers with at least Subscriber-level privileges to append arbitrary SQL commands, risking data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required beyond subscriber, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or denial of service conditions affecting the plugin and potentially the entire WordPress site. The vulnerability is rated critical with a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a severe risk to affected installations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access where possible and monitor for unusual activity related to the Community Events plugin. Avoid using affected versions and consider disabling the plugin if feasible.
