CVE-2025-11454: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in giuse Specific Content For Mobile – Customize the mobile version without redirections
The Specific Content For Mobile – Customize the mobile version without redirections plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the eos_scfm_duplicate_post_as_draft() function in all versions up to, and including, 0.5.5 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-11454 is an SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89 affecting the WordPress plugin 'Specific Content For Mobile – Customize the mobile version without redirections' developed by giuse. The vulnerability resides in the eos_scfm_duplicate_post_as_draft() function, which fails to properly escape user-supplied input parameters before incorporating them into SQL queries. This improper neutralization allows an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges to inject arbitrary SQL commands appended to existing queries. The injection can be leveraged to extract sensitive information from the backend database, compromising confidentiality. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network, but it does require authentication at the Contributor level or above. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting the ease of exploitation given low attack complexity and no user interaction, balanced against the requirement for authenticated access and the impact limited to confidentiality. No patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, and no active exploitation has been reported. The vulnerability affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 0.5.5. The plugin is used to customize mobile versions of WordPress sites without redirections, and its user base is likely small but present in various WordPress deployments worldwide. This vulnerability highlights the importance of proper input sanitization and prepared statements in WordPress plugin development to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
Potential Impact
The primary impact of CVE-2025-11454 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored in the WordPress database. Attackers with Contributor-level access can exploit the SQL Injection flaw to extract confidential information, potentially including user data, site configuration, or other sensitive content. While the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact), the confidentiality breach can lead to further attacks such as credential theft, privilege escalation, or targeted phishing. Organizations running WordPress sites with this plugin are at risk of data leakage, which can damage reputation, violate privacy regulations, and result in financial losses. Since exploitation requires authenticated access, the threat is higher in environments with weak access controls or compromised contributor accounts. The lack of known active exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks once exploit code becomes available. Overall, the vulnerability poses a moderate risk to organizations relying on this plugin for mobile content customization.
Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate CVE-2025-11454, organizations should first check if an updated version of the 'Specific Content For Mobile – Customize the mobile version without redirections' plugin is available that addresses the SQL Injection vulnerability and apply the patch promptly. If no patch is available, consider temporarily disabling or uninstalling the plugin to eliminate exposure. Restrict Contributor-level access strictly to trusted users and review user permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable function. Conduct regular security audits and database monitoring to detect unusual query activity. Encourage plugin developers to adopt secure coding practices such as using prepared statements and parameterized queries to prevent SQL Injection. Additionally, maintain strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, to reduce the risk of account compromise. Backup WordPress site data regularly to enable recovery in case of compromise. Finally, monitor threat intelligence sources for any emerging exploit code or attack campaigns related to this vulnerability.
