CVE-2025-10862 is a SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89, affecting the 'Popup builder with Gamification, Multi-Step Popups, Page-Level Targeting, and WooCommerce Triggers' WordPress plugin developed by roxnor. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 2.1.3 due to insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements on the 'id' parameter used in SQL queries. This improper neutralization of special elements allows unauthenticated attackers to append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N), making exploitation straightforward. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data from the backend database, compromising confidentiality without affecting integrity or availability. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress sites that implement gamified popups, multi-step user interactions, page-level targeting, and WooCommerce triggers, which are prevalent in e-commerce and marketing websites. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's CVSS score of 7.5 (high) reflects its significant risk. The lack of a patch at the time of reporting necessitates immediate attention from site administrators to mitigate potential exploitation.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk, particularly for those operating e-commerce platforms or marketing websites using WordPress with the affected plugin. The ability for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database information could lead to exposure of customer data, business intelligence, or other confidential information, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. This could result in legal penalties, reputational damage, and financial losses. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and lack of required authentication increase the likelihood of attacks, especially targeting high-traffic websites. Additionally, compromised data could facilitate further attacks such as phishing or fraud. The impact is mainly on confidentiality, with no direct effect on data integrity or system availability, but the indirect consequences could be severe for affected organizations.

1. Monitor for plugin updates from roxnor and apply patches immediately once available to address the SQL Injection vulnerability. 2. Until an official patch is released, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the 'id' parameter in HTTP requests. 3. Employ input validation and sanitization at the application level, ensuring that all parameters, especially 'id', are strictly validated against expected formats (e.g., numeric only). 4. Use parameterized queries or prepared statements if modifying the plugin code is feasible to prevent injection. 5. Conduct regular security scans and penetration tests focusing on SQL injection vectors in WordPress environments. 6. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit data exposure in case of exploitation. 7. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 8. Educate site administrators and developers about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection.
