CVE-2025-32677: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in solwininfotech WP Social Stream Designer
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in solwininfotech WP Social Stream Designer social-stream-design allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects WP Social Stream Designer: from n/a through <= 1.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-32677 identifies a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the WP Social Stream Designer plugin developed by solwininfotech, specifically affecting versions up to 1.3. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands constructed by the plugin, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code. Blind SQL Injection means the attacker can infer database information by sending crafted queries and observing application behavior or response times, even if direct data output is not returned. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication, assuming the plugin is active on a WordPress site. The plugin aggregates social media streams, and its SQL queries likely interact with stored configuration or user data. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive information such as user credentials, site configuration, or other database contents, modify or delete data, or escalate privileges within the WordPress environment. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the lack of a patch and the common use of WordPress and its plugins make this a significant risk. The vulnerability was published on April 9, 2025, and no CVSS score has been assigned yet. The absence of patches or mitigations from the vendor increases the urgency for defensive measures by site administrators.
Potential Impact
The impact of CVE-2025-32677 is potentially severe for organizations using the WP Social Stream Designer plugin. Successful exploitation can compromise the confidentiality of sensitive data stored in the WordPress database, including user information and site configuration. Integrity can also be affected if attackers modify or delete database records, potentially disrupting site functionality or enabling further attacks such as privilege escalation or persistent backdoors. Availability could be impacted if attackers execute queries that lock or corrupt database tables. Given WordPress's widespread use globally, many organizations, including small businesses, media sites, and enterprises using this plugin, could be affected. The vulnerability's remote exploitation capability without authentication increases the attack surface. Although no known exploits are currently active, the vulnerability could be weaponized by attackers targeting high-value WordPress sites, especially those with valuable user data or critical business functions. The lack of an official patch means the window of exposure remains open, increasing risk over time.
Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate CVE-2025-32677, organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify if the WP Social Stream Designer plugin (version 1.3 or earlier) is in use. If found, temporarily disable or uninstall the plugin until a vendor patch is released. Monitor official solwininfotech channels for updates or security advisories. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the plugin's endpoints, focusing on suspicious input containing SQL control characters or anomalous query parameters. Conduct regular database backups to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss. Review and restrict database user privileges associated with WordPress to minimize potential damage from SQL injection. Employ security plugins that provide runtime protection and anomaly detection for WordPress environments. Additionally, monitor server logs and database query logs for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Educate site administrators on the risks of outdated plugins and enforce timely updates as part of the security policy.
