CVE-2025-11454 is an SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89 found 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 handles duplicating posts as drafts. The root cause is insufficient sanitization and escaping of user-supplied input parameters combined with the absence of parameterized SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL payloads appended to legitimate queries. This allows unauthorized reading of sensitive data from the backend database, such as user credentials, personal data, or other confidential content stored in the WordPress database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L), and no elevated privileges beyond Contributor are needed (PR:L). The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is limited to the vulnerable component's privileges. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity level, primarily due to the high confidentiality impact (C:H) but no impact on integrity (I:N) or availability (A:N). No public exploit code has been reported yet, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and should be considered a credible threat. The plugin is widely used in WordPress environments that customize mobile content without redirections, making it a relevant risk for websites relying on this functionality.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive data stored in WordPress databases. Attackers with relatively low-level authenticated access can exfiltrate data without detection, potentially exposing personal data protected under GDPR, intellectual property, or internal business information. This can lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Since WordPress powers a substantial portion of websites in Europe, including government, educational, and commercial sites, the impact can be widespread. The vulnerability does not affect system availability or data integrity directly, so service disruption or data tampering risks are minimal. However, the breach of confidential data can have cascading effects, including facilitating further attacks such as privilege escalation or phishing. Organizations using this plugin or similar WordPress customizations should consider this a priority vulnerability to address. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as exploit code may emerge following public disclosure.

1. Immediate mitigation involves restricting Contributor-level and higher access to trusted users only, minimizing the attack surface. 2. Monitor and audit user activities for suspicious behavior related to post duplication or database queries. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting SQL Injection patterns, especially those targeting WordPress plugins. 4. Encourage plugin developers or site administrators to update the plugin once a patch is released; if no patch is available, consider disabling the plugin or replacing it with a secure alternative. 5. Implement database access controls to limit the exposure of sensitive tables and data to the WordPress application user. 6. Use security plugins that enforce input validation and sanitization at the application level. 7. Regularly back up WordPress databases and monitor for unauthorized data access or exfiltration attempts. 8. Educate site administrators on the risks of granting Contributor or higher privileges unnecessarily. 9. Conduct penetration testing focusing on SQL Injection vectors in WordPress plugins to identify similar vulnerabilities proactively.
