CVE-2025-5590: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in gopiplus Owl carousel responsive
The Owl carousel responsive plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, 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-2025-5590 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability in the gopiplus Owl carousel responsive WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.9. The issue stems from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'id' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks. This enables attackers to append malicious SQL queries to existing database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). There is no vendor-provided patch or advisory available at this time, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter, leading to potential unauthorized disclosure, modification, or deletion of sensitive database information. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to the Owl carousel responsive plugin. Consider disabling or removing the plugin if it is not essential.
