CVE-2025-4204: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Inception Software LLP Ultimate Auction Pro
The Ultimate Auction Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘auction_id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-4204 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ultimate Auction Pro plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.5.2. The issue arises from insufficient escaping of the 'auction_id' parameter and lack of prepared statements in SQL queries. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL commands, potentially extracting sensitive data from the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without privileges or user interaction, resulting in high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no required privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability according to the CVSS vector. Because the attack requires no authentication, it poses a significant risk to affected installations. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to vulnerable parameters via web application firewall rules or other filtering mechanisms. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
