Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-10635, organizations should immediately upgrade the 'Find Me On' plugin to a version that addresses this vulnerability once available. In the absence of an official patch, administrators should consider temporarily disabling the plugin to eliminate the attack surface. Additionally, restricting subscriber-level permissions to only trusted users can reduce risk. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter can provide interim protection. Regularly auditing user roles and monitoring database query logs for suspicious activity can help detect exploitation attempts. Developers maintaining the plugin should apply secure coding practices by properly sanitizing and escaping all user inputs before SQL query construction, preferably using parameterized queries or prepared statements. Finally, organizations should ensure that WordPress core and all plugins are kept up to date and conduct periodic security assessments to identify similar vulnerabilities.

Description

The Find Me On WordPress plugin through 2.0.9.1 does not sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, allowing subscribers and above to perform SQL injection attacks

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-10635 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored in the WordPress site's database. Attackers with subscriber-level access can exploit the SQL Injection flaw to extract confidential information such as user credentials, personal data, or site configuration details. Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact), the confidentiality breach can lead to further attacks, including privilege escalation or targeted phishing. Organizations running WordPress sites with the 'Find Me On' plugin are at risk of data leakage, which can damage reputation, violate privacy regulations, and result in financial penalties. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and remote attack vector increase the likelihood of exploitation attempts, especially in environments with many subscribers or contributors. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the potential for rapid weaponization exists once exploit code becomes available.

CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
