CVE-2025-2511: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in mitchelllevy AHAthat Plugin
The AHAthat Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6 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 Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Authenticated attackers with Administrator privileges can exploit this to append SQL commands to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, allowing extraction of sensitive information from the database. There is no indication of impact on data integrity or availability. The vulnerability requires high privileges (Administrator or above) and network access to the vulnerable WordPress instance.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
