CVE-2025-30628 is an SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89 affecting the AA-Team Amazon Affiliates Addon for WPBakery Page Builder, a popular WordPress plugin used to integrate Amazon affiliate marketing features into websites. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) to inject malicious SQL code without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5, reflecting a high severity due to its network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and significant confidentiality impact (C:H), while integrity impact is none (I:N) and availability impact is low (A:L). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. This means an attacker can potentially extract sensitive data from the backend database, such as user information or affiliate data, without modifying data or causing significant service disruption. The affected versions include all versions up to 1.2, with no patch currently available or linked. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics suggest it could be exploited remotely over the internet by authenticated users with minimal privileges, making it a critical concern for websites relying on this plugin for affiliate marketing. The vulnerability's presence in a widely used WordPress plugin increases the attack surface, especially for e-commerce and marketing websites that rely on affiliate revenue streams.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-30628 can be significant, particularly for those operating e-commerce platforms or affiliate marketing websites using WordPress with the affected addon. The primary risk is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored in the backend database, including customer information, affiliate tracking data, and potentially payment-related details. This can lead to privacy violations under GDPR, resulting in regulatory fines and reputational damage. Although the vulnerability does not allow data modification or deletion, the confidentiality breach alone can undermine customer trust and business continuity. Additionally, attackers could leverage extracted data for further attacks such as phishing or fraud. The low complexity and remote exploitability mean that attackers can potentially automate exploitation, increasing the risk of widespread attacks. The limited availability impact suggests that service disruption is unlikely, but data leakage alone is a critical concern. Organizations with limited security monitoring or outdated plugins are at higher risk.

1. Immediate mitigation involves monitoring official AA-Team channels and WordPress plugin repositories for patches addressing CVE-2025-30628 and applying updates promptly once available. 2. Until a patch is released, restrict access to the plugin's administrative interfaces to trusted users only, using role-based access controls and IP whitelisting where possible. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and prevention rules tailored to WordPress environments to block malicious payloads targeting this vulnerability. 4. Conduct regular audits of database user permissions to ensure the WordPress database user has the least privileges necessary, limiting potential data exposure. 5. Implement logging and alerting on suspicious SQL queries or unusual database access patterns to detect exploitation attempts early. 6. Consider isolating the WordPress environment and database to reduce lateral movement in case of compromise. 7. Educate site administrators on the risks of installing unverified plugins and the importance of timely updates. 8. Perform security assessments and penetration testing focusing on SQL Injection vectors in the WordPress environment to identify other potential weaknesses.
