CVE-2025-30947 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the gopiplus Cool fade popup plugin, versions up to 10.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, classified under CWE-89. Specifically, this flaw allows an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection attacks, where malicious SQL queries can be injected into the backend database through unsanitized input fields or parameters handled by the Cool fade popup plugin. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5 reflects a network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), with a scope change (S:C), resulting in high confidentiality impact (C:H), no integrity impact (I:N), and low availability impact (A:L). This means an attacker with some level of privileges on the system can remotely exploit the vulnerability without user interaction, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database (confidentiality breach) while not altering or destroying data or significantly disrupting service. The scope change indicates that the vulnerability affects components beyond the initially vulnerable component, potentially impacting other parts of the system. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the nature of Blind SQL Injection makes it a critical concern because it can be used to extract sensitive information stealthily, such as user credentials, configuration data, or other private information stored in the database. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for affected organizations to implement compensating controls. The vulnerability affects the Cool fade popup plugin, which is commonly used in web environments to display popup content with fade effects, often integrated into websites for marketing or user interaction purposes. The attack requires some level of privilege, implying that the attacker must have access to a user account or system with limited rights, but no user interaction is needed once access is obtained.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-30947 can be significant, especially for those relying on the gopiplus Cool fade popup plugin in their web infrastructure. The primary risk is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data due to the high confidentiality impact. This could include customer personal data, financial information, or intellectual property, leading to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR and potential financial penalties. The scope change means that exploitation could affect multiple components or systems, increasing the risk of broader data exposure. Additionally, the presence of this vulnerability could undermine trust in affected organizations, damage brand reputation, and lead to costly incident response efforts. Since the attack requires some privilege, insider threats or compromised accounts could be leveraged by attackers to exploit this vulnerability. The low availability impact suggests that service disruption is less likely, but data leakage remains a critical concern. European organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and public services, which often use popup plugins for user engagement, are particularly at risk. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the high severity score indicates that attackers may develop exploits soon.

1. Immediate mitigation should include auditing all web applications and websites for the presence of the gopiplus Cool fade popup plugin and identifying affected versions (up to 10.1). 2. Since no patches are currently available, implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the plugin’s input vectors. 3. Restrict privileges for user accounts interacting with the plugin to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk of exploitation by low-privilege users. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all parameters processed by the plugin, applying strict whitelisting where possible. 5. Monitor web server and database logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed queries indicative of Blind SQL Injection attempts. 6. Prepare for patch deployment by establishing communication channels with the vendor and subscribing to security advisories for updates. 7. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the plugin with a secure alternative if mitigation controls cannot be reliably implemented. 8. Educate development and security teams about the risks of SQL Injection and the importance of secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.
