CVE-2025-14153: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in vikasratudi Page Expire Popup/Redirection for WordPress
The Page Expire Popup/Redirection for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'id' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 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 authenticated attackers, with Author-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-2025-14153 is a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the Page Expire Popup/Redirection for WordPress plugin by vikasratudi. The issue arises from insufficient escaping and lack of proper preparation of the 'id' shortcode attribute in SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher can append malicious SQL commands to extract sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity and requiring privileges, resulting in high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the WordPress database. The impact is limited to confidentiality as there is no direct integrity or availability impact reported. Since the attacker must be authenticated with certain privileges, the risk is mitigated by access controls but remains significant for compromised or malicious users with such access.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently documented for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the affected plugin if possible. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users to reduce the risk of exploitation.
