CVE-2025-5673: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in pr-gateway Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler
The Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘prgSortPostType’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.4 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 Subscriber-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
The Blog2Social WordPress plugin suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) via the ‘prgSortPostType’ parameter. This parameter is not properly sanitized or prepared before being used in SQL queries, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to inject arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 8.4.4. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact. No patch or official fix has been confirmed yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the backend database. The confidentiality of the data is at risk, but integrity and availability are not impacted according to the CVSS vector. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure within affected WordPress installations using the vulnerable plugin versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider restricting Subscriber-level access or disabling the plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
