CVE-2025-10743: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in maycorolbuche1 Outdoor
The Outdoor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'edit' action in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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-2025-10743 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Outdoor plugin for WordPress, developed by maycorolbuche1. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.3.2 and is triggered via the 'edit' action parameter. The root cause is insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements when handling user-supplied input, which allows attackers to append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries. This vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, making it remotely exploitable over the network. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the backend database, compromising confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (high), reflecting the ease of exploitation (low attack complexity), no privileges required, and high impact on confidentiality, though integrity and availability are not affected. No patches are currently available, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk to WordPress sites using this plugin. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89, which covers improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, a common and critical web application security flaw.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk of data breaches through unauthorized access to sensitive database information. Given WordPress's widespread use across Europe for corporate websites, blogs, and e-commerce platforms, exploitation could lead to exposure of customer data, intellectual property, or internal business information. The lack of required authentication means attackers can exploit this remotely without prior access, increasing the threat surface. Although integrity and availability are not directly impacted, the confidentiality breach alone can result in regulatory penalties under GDPR, reputational damage, and potential financial losses. Organizations relying on the Outdoor plugin for content management or customer interaction are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation, but the high severity score indicates that attackers may develop exploits soon, increasing urgency for remediation.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the Outdoor plugin, especially versions up to 1.3.2. Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider disabling or removing the plugin to eliminate exposure. Implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'edit' parameter can provide interim protection. Additionally, applying strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs related to the plugin is critical. Monitoring database logs for unusual or unexpected queries can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also ensure their WordPress core and other plugins are up to date to reduce overall attack surface. Finally, preparing an incident response plan for potential data breaches related to this vulnerability is advisable.
