CVE-2025-15268 is an SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Infility Global plugin for WordPress, present in all versions up to and including 2.14.46. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied input in the 'infility_get_data' API action. This API endpoint fails to properly sanitize or prepare SQL queries, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL statements. The exploitation does not require authentication or user interaction, making it remotely exploitable over the network. The attack can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the backend database, impacting confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects the high confidentiality impact, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. While no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk to WordPress sites using this plugin. The lack of patches or official fixes at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability's impact is limited to confidentiality; it does not affect data integrity or availability directly. The plugin's widespread use in WordPress environments, especially in business or organizational contexts, increases the potential attack surface.

For European organizations, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in WordPress databases, including potentially personal data protected under GDPR. Exposure of such data can result in regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Organizations relying on the Infility Global plugin for critical business functions or customer-facing websites may face data breaches without any prior indication. Since the vulnerability is exploitable without authentication, attackers can automate scanning and exploitation attempts, increasing the risk of widespread compromise. The confidentiality breach could include user credentials, business data, or other sensitive information depending on the database content. Although integrity and availability are not directly impacted, the exposure of confidential data alone is a serious concern. The risk is amplified for organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government where data sensitivity is paramount. Additionally, the lack of known exploits currently does not preclude future active exploitation, especially once proof-of-concept code becomes available.

Immediate mitigation steps include updating the Infility Global plugin to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should consider disabling the 'infility_get_data' API action or restricting access to it via web application firewalls (WAF) or IP whitelisting. Implementing strict input validation and parameterized queries in custom plugin code can reduce risk. Monitoring web server logs for suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable API endpoint can help detect exploitation attempts early. Employing runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools or database activity monitoring can provide additional layers of defense. Organizations should also review and limit database user privileges to minimize data exposure if exploitation occurs. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to address potential data breaches stemming from this vulnerability. Finally, educating development and security teams about secure coding practices related to SQL injection is critical for long-term prevention.
