Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: robcore89
Product: Robcore Netatmo

Description

The Robcore Netatmo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘module_id’ attribute of the robcore-netatmo shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.7 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 Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-10652 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the Robcore Netatmo plugin for WordPress, specifically in all versions up to and including 1.7. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89). The issue is located in the handling of the 'module_id' attribute of the robcore-netatmo shortcode, where insufficient escaping and lack of proper query preparation allow an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries. This injection can be leveraged to extract sensitive information from the underlying database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L). The attacker must have some level of authenticated access (PR:L), but no UI interaction is needed (UI:N). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), and the impact is primarily on confidentiality (C:H), with no impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date (2025-09-20). The absence of patches at the time of disclosure indicates that organizations using this plugin remain vulnerable until an update or mitigation is applied. Given the plugin’s integration with WordPress, a widely used CMS, this vulnerability could be leveraged to access sensitive data stored in the database, potentially including user information, configuration data, or other critical content managed by the plugin.

Potential Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk especially to those using WordPress sites with the Robcore Netatmo plugin installed. The ability for an attacker with Contributor-level access to extract sensitive data can lead to data breaches involving personal data, intellectual property, or business-critical information. This could result in violations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), leading to legal penalties and reputational damage. Since WordPress is extensively used across Europe for corporate websites, e-commerce, and informational portals, the attack surface is considerable. The vulnerability could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to customer data or internal information, potentially facilitating further attacks such as phishing or lateral movement within the network. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, exploitation requires some level of authenticated access, which somewhat limits the attack vector but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with weak access controls or compromised user credentials.

Mitigation Recommendations

European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the Robcore Netatmo plugin and verify the version in use. Until a patch is released, organizations should consider the following specific mitigations: 1) Restrict Contributor-level and higher access strictly to trusted users and review user roles and permissions to minimize the number of users who can exploit this vulnerability. 2) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the 'module_id' parameter in the shortcode. 3) Employ database query monitoring to detect anomalous query patterns indicative of injection attempts. 4) Consider disabling or removing the Robcore Netatmo plugin if it is not essential to reduce the attack surface. 5) Monitor logs for unusual database access or errors related to the plugin. 6) Prepare for patch deployment by subscribing to vendor updates and security advisories. 7) Educate administrators and developers about secure coding practices, particularly regarding input validation and parameterized queries to prevent similar vulnerabilities in custom plugins or themes.
