CVE-2025-24748 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in the LambertGroup All In One Slider Responsive plugin, affecting versions up to 3.7.9. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an attacker with at least low privileges (PR:L) to inject malicious SQL code remotely (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability has a scope of changed (S:C), meaning it can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.5, reflecting a high impact on confidentiality (C:H), no impact on integrity (I:N), and low impact on availability (A:L). Exploitation could allow an attacker to extract sensitive data from the backend database, such as user credentials or configuration details, potentially leading to data breaches or further compromise of the web application environment. The vulnerability is present in a widely used WordPress slider plugin, which is commonly deployed on websites for responsive image sliders, making it a critical concern for web administrators. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, and no patches have been published yet, indicating a window of exposure for affected users. The vulnerability was reserved in January 2025 and published in July 2025, suggesting recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for those relying on WordPress-based websites that use the All In One Slider Responsive plugin. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer or internal data, violating GDPR requirements and potentially resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The ability to execute SQL injection remotely without user interaction increases the risk of automated attacks and mass exploitation attempts. Additionally, the scope change indicates that attackers might leverage this vulnerability to access or manipulate data beyond the plugin itself, potentially impacting other integrated systems or databases. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and government, which often handle sensitive personal data, are particularly vulnerable. The lack of an available patch means organizations must rely on immediate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.

1. Immediate mitigation should include disabling or removing the All In One Slider Responsive plugin until a security patch is released. 2. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this plugin's known parameters and endpoints. 3. Conduct thorough code reviews and input validation enhancements if custom modifications exist, ensuring all user inputs are properly sanitized and parameterized queries are used. 4. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual query patterns or error messages indicative of SQL injection attempts. 5. Restrict database user permissions associated with the web application to the minimum necessary, limiting the potential impact of any injection. 6. Stay updated with LambertGroup’s advisories and apply official patches promptly once available. 7. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block injection attacks in real time.
