CVE-2025-49034 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in the Funnel Builder plugin by FunnelKit, affecting versions up to 3.10.2. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an authenticated user with high privileges to inject malicious SQL code. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.6, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring privileges but no user interaction, and a scope change. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and availability, enabling an attacker to extract sensitive data from the database or cause partial denial of service by manipulating SQL queries. The integrity impact is rated none, indicating the vulnerability does not directly allow data modification. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability affects components beyond the initially vulnerable module. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. Funnel Builder is a WordPress plugin used for creating marketing funnels, implying that the vulnerability could expose customer data, marketing analytics, or other business-critical information stored in the backend database. The requirement for high privileges means exploitation is limited to authenticated users with elevated rights, such as administrators or editors within the WordPress environment. This reduces the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with multiple users or potential insider threats. The vulnerability's presence in a widely used WordPress plugin makes it a significant concern for organizations relying on FunnelKit for their marketing operations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-49034 can be substantial, especially for those in e-commerce, digital marketing, and customer relationship management sectors that utilize FunnelKit's Funnel Builder plugin. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer data, including personal identifiable information (PII), which would have serious implications under the EU's GDPR regulations, potentially resulting in heavy fines and reputational damage. The partial denial of service could disrupt marketing campaigns and sales funnels, affecting revenue and customer engagement. Since the vulnerability requires authenticated high-privilege access, insider threats or compromised administrator accounts pose the greatest risk. Organizations with complex WordPress deployments or multiple administrators are particularly vulnerable. Additionally, the scope change indicates that the impact could extend beyond the plugin itself, potentially affecting other integrated systems or data stores. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the high CVSS score and the critical nature of data handled by FunnelKit necessitate urgent attention.

European organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate this vulnerability beyond generic patching advice. First, restrict administrative access to the WordPress backend strictly to trusted personnel and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of privilege misuse. Conduct a thorough audit of user roles and permissions to ensure no unnecessary high-privilege accounts exist. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules tailored to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting FunnelKit endpoints. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or failed login attempts that could indicate exploitation attempts. Since no official patch is currently linked, organizations should consider temporarily disabling or limiting the use of Funnel Builder features that interact with the database until a patch is released. Regularly back up the WordPress environment and database to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. Finally, maintain close communication with FunnelKit for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
