CVE-2025-25150: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Stylemix uListing
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Stylemix uListing ulisting allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects uListing: from n/a through <= 2.1.6.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-25150 is a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Stylemix uListing plugin, versions up to and including 2.1.6. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, which allows an attacker to inject crafted SQL queries into the backend database through the plugin's input fields. Blind SQL Injection means that the attacker cannot directly see the results of the injection but can infer data by observing application behavior or response times. This type of injection can be exploited to extract sensitive information, modify database contents, or escalate privileges within the application. The vulnerability affects the uListing plugin, commonly used in WordPress environments to manage real estate listings. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the nature of SQL injection vulnerabilities makes them attractive targets for attackers. The plugin's widespread use in various countries increases the potential attack surface. The absence of an official patch at the time of publication means that affected users must rely on alternative mitigations such as input sanitization, web application firewalls, and monitoring. The vulnerability was reserved in early February 2025 and published in March 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.
Potential Impact
The primary impact of CVE-2025-25150 is unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the backend database of websites using the vulnerable uListing plugin. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability can perform data exfiltration, potentially accessing user credentials, personal information, or proprietary business data. Additionally, attackers may alter or delete database records, compromising data integrity and availability. This can lead to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions for affected organizations. Since the vulnerability is a Blind SQL Injection, exploitation might be slower but still effective, allowing attackers to systematically extract data. The lack of authentication requirements or user interaction in some attack scenarios increases the risk. Organizations using uListing for real estate listings or similar services are particularly vulnerable, as these sites often handle sensitive client data. The impact extends to any organization relying on WordPress sites with this plugin, including real estate agencies, property management firms, and online marketplaces.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediately audit all WordPress installations for the presence of the Stylemix uListing plugin and identify versions up to 2.1.6. 2. Apply any available patches or updates from Stylemix as soon as they are released. 3. In the absence of official patches, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data fields related to the plugin, especially those interacting with SQL queries. 4. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the uListing plugin endpoints. 5. Monitor database logs and web server logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary for the plugin’s operation to limit potential damage from successful injection. 7. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if immediate patching or mitigation is not feasible. 8. Educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices to prevent similar injection flaws in custom code or other plugins.
