CVE-2025-15268: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in infility Infility Global
The Infility Global plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL Injection via the 'infility_get_data' API action in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.46. This is 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 - with certain server configurations - additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-15268 is an SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Infility Global plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.14.46. The vulnerability arises from insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements in the 'infility_get_data' API action, which processes user-supplied parameters. Because the input is not properly sanitized, an unauthenticated attacker can craft malicious SQL payloads that append additional queries to the existing SQL commands executed by the plugin. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the backend database. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to remote attackers. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects a network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges required, impacting confidentiality but not integrity or availability. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the widespread use of WordPress and potential sensitive data exposure. The plugin’s failure to implement parameterized queries or adequate input validation is the root cause, highlighting a common security oversight in plugin development. Organizations using Infility Global should urgently review their installations and apply patches or mitigations once available.
Potential Impact
The primary impact of this vulnerability is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data from the database underlying WordPress sites using the Infility Global plugin. Attackers can exploit this flaw remotely without authentication, potentially extracting user credentials, personal information, or other confidential data. This can lead to privacy violations, regulatory non-compliance, reputational damage, and further exploitation such as account takeover or lateral movement within the network. Since the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability, it is less likely to cause service disruption but remains critical due to data confidentiality risks. Organizations with high-value or sensitive data hosted on affected WordPress sites are at particular risk. The ease of exploitation and lack of required privileges increase the likelihood of opportunistic attacks. Additionally, the absence of known exploits currently in the wild suggests a window of opportunity for defenders to mitigate before widespread exploitation occurs.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediately disable or restrict access to the 'infility_get_data' API action if possible until a patch is available. 2. Apply any official patches or updates released by Infility addressing this vulnerability as soon as they are published. 3. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the vulnerable API endpoint. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. 5. Monitor database logs and web server logs for unusual or suspicious query patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. 6. Limit database user permissions to the minimum necessary to reduce the impact of potential exploitation. 7. Educate development teams on secure coding practices to avoid similar vulnerabilities in future plugin updates. 8. Consider isolating or sandboxing the WordPress environment to contain potential breaches. 9. Regularly audit installed plugins and remove any that are unused or unsupported to reduce attack surface.
