CVE-2025-14068: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in qdonow WPNakama – Team and multi-Client Collaboration, Editorial and Project Management
The WPNakama plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'order_by' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.6.3 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
CVE-2025-14068 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the WPNakama plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 0.6.3. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'order_by' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries. This vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping of user input and lack of prepared statements in the SQL query construction. The vulnerability enables attackers to extract sensitive information from the database via time-based SQL Injection techniques. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive information from the backend database by injecting SQL commands through the 'order_by' parameter. The confidentiality of the database is compromised, but integrity and availability remain unaffected. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the WPNakama plugin or restricting access to the vulnerable functionality. Applying Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'order_by' parameter may provide temporary mitigation.
