CVE-2025-11452: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in asgaros Asgaros Forum
The Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the '$_COOKIE['asgarosforum_unread_exclude']' cookie in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.1.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the '$_COOKIE['asgarosforum_unread_exclude']' parameter.

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive information from the database. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive information from the database underlying the Asgaros Forum plugin. The vulnerability does not impact data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
