CVE-2025-27281: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in cookforweb All In Menu
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in cookforweb All In Menu all-in-menu allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects All In Menu: from n/a through <= 1.1.5.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-27281 is a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the cookforweb All In Menu plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.5. The root cause is improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, which allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code into database queries. Blind SQL Injection means attackers cannot directly see query results but can infer data by observing application behavior or response timing. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable plugin endpoints. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or even full compromise of the underlying database. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to manage restaurant menus, making it a target for attackers seeking to access sensitive business or customer data. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no patches have been published, but the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. While no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the technical details suggest a high risk if left unmitigated.
Potential Impact
The impact of this vulnerability is significant for organizations using the All In Menu plugin, especially those handling sensitive customer or business data. Blind SQL Injection can lead to unauthorized access to confidential information such as user credentials, payment details, or proprietary business data. Attackers could alter or delete database records, disrupting business operations and damaging data integrity. In worst-case scenarios, attackers might escalate access to the underlying server or network, leading to broader compromise. The lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitability increase the attack surface. Organizations relying on this plugin for online menu management, particularly in the hospitality sector, face risks of data breaches, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational downtime.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediately audit and identify all instances of the All In Menu plugin version 1.1.5 or earlier within your environment. 2. If possible, disable or remove the vulnerable plugin until a patch is released. 3. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 4. Employ strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied inputs related to menu management features. 5. Use parameterized queries or prepared statements in any custom code interacting with the plugin’s database. 6. Monitor database logs and application behavior for anomalies indicative of SQL injection attempts. 7. Stay updated with vendor advisories and apply official patches immediately once available. 8. Consider isolating the web application environment to limit database access scope and privileges. 9. Conduct penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors to verify mitigation effectiveness.
