CVE-2025-1702: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in ultimatemember Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin
The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'search' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for 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-2025-1702 is a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin (up to version 2.10.0). The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'search' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to append SQL queries to existing database queries. This is due to insufficient escaping of user input and lack of prepared statements or parameterized queries. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive database information. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, enabling them to extract sensitive information from the plugin's underlying database. The impact is limited to confidentiality as there is no indication of integrity or availability impact. This could lead to data leakage of user or system information stored in the database.
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 restricting access to the vulnerable 'search' functionality or applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter.
