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 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in 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 and does not use prepared statements for SQL queries. This improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) enables authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries. Consequently, attackers can extract sensitive information from the backend database, such as user credentials, content data, or configuration details. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (integrity) nor does it impact system availability. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and should be considered for immediate remediation. The plugin affects all versions up to and including 0.5.5, and no official patches are currently linked, indicating the need for manual mitigation or vendor updates. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for WordPress sites that enable contributor roles and use this plugin to customize mobile content without redirections, as it expands the attack surface for insider threats or compromised contributor accounts.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized data disclosure from WordPress sites using the affected plugin. Sensitive information such as user data, internal content, or configuration details could be extracted by attackers with contributor-level access, potentially leading to privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The vulnerability does not allow data modification or denial of service, limiting the impact to confidentiality breaches. However, many European companies rely on WordPress for corporate websites, blogs, and e-commerce portals, making this a relevant threat. Insider threats or compromised contributor accounts could be leveraged to exploit this vulnerability. The lack of user interaction and low attack complexity increase the likelihood of exploitation once an attacker gains contributor access. This could facilitate further lateral movement or targeted attacks. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and public administration, are particularly vulnerable to reputational and legal consequences if sensitive data is leaked.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should prioritize the following specific mitigation steps: 1) Immediately audit WordPress installations to identify the presence of the 'Specific Content For Mobile – Customize the mobile version without redirections' plugin and verify the version in use. 2) Restrict Contributor-level privileges to trusted users only and review user roles to minimize unnecessary elevated access. 3) Monitor and log contributor activities to detect suspicious behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 4) Apply any vendor-released patches promptly once available; if no patch exists, consider disabling or uninstalling the plugin temporarily to eliminate the attack vector. 5) As a manual mitigation, review and modify the eos_scfm_duplicate_post_as_draft() function to implement proper input sanitization and use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 6) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this plugin. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on WordPress plugins and user privilege configurations. 8) Educate content contributors about security best practices and the risks of credential compromise. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the plugin-specific vulnerability and the contributor access vector.
