CVE-2025-30947 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting the gopiplus Cool fade popup plugin, versions up to 10.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, enabling an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection attacks. Blind SQL Injection allows an attacker to infer database information by sending crafted queries and analyzing the application's responses, even when direct data output is not available. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.5, reflecting 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), 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 can remotely exploit the vulnerability without user interaction, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data from the backend database. The scope change indicates that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component, increasing the risk. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild and no patches have been released yet, the vulnerability's nature and high CVSS score suggest it is a critical risk for affected systems. The Cool fade popup plugin is typically used in web environments to display popup content, often integrated into websites for marketing or user interaction purposes. The SQL Injection flaw could allow attackers to bypass authentication, extract sensitive user or system data, or perform reconnaissance for further attacks. Given the lack of patches, organizations using this plugin should consider immediate mitigation steps to prevent exploitation.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on the gopiplus Cool fade popup plugin on their websites or web applications. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, including customer information, credentials, or internal business data, undermining confidentiality. The vulnerability does not directly affect data integrity but could facilitate further attacks that do. Availability impact is low but could increase if attackers leverage the vulnerability for denial-of-service conditions. Given the GDPR and other stringent data protection regulations in Europe, any data breach resulting from this vulnerability could lead to substantial regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and government, which often use web-based marketing tools like popup plugins, are particularly at risk. Additionally, the requirement for some privileges to exploit the vulnerability means that insider threats or compromised accounts could be leveraged to launch attacks, increasing the risk profile. The lack of patches and known exploits in the wild means organizations must proactively assess their exposure and implement mitigations to avoid potential breaches.

1. Immediate mitigation should include disabling or removing the Cool fade popup plugin from all web applications until a vendor patch is released. 2. If removal is not feasible, restrict access to the affected plugin's functionality by implementing strict access controls, limiting usage to trusted users only. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the plugin's endpoints. 4. Conduct thorough code reviews and input validation on all user-supplied data interacting with the plugin, applying parameterized queries or prepared statements if custom modifications are possible. 5. Monitor web application logs for unusual or suspicious database query patterns indicative of Blind SQL Injection attempts. 6. Maintain up-to-date backups of affected systems to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. 8. Educate internal teams about the risks of SQL Injection and the importance of least privilege principles to reduce the risk of exploitation by users with elevated privileges.
