CVE-2025-67519 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Ninja Tables WordPress plugin developed by Shahjahan Jewel. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. Affected versions include all releases up to and including 5.2.3. The flaw enables unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion, and full system compromise. The vulnerability does not require any user interaction or privileges, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.8, reflecting its critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the ease of exploitation and the widespread use of WordPress and Ninja Tables make this a significant threat. The vulnerability was published on December 9, 2025, and no official patches or mitigations have been linked yet. The issue is particularly dangerous for websites that store sensitive information or perform critical business functions, as attackers could leverage this flaw to extract or manipulate data, disrupt services, or pivot to further network compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67519 can be severe. Many businesses rely on WordPress and plugins like Ninja Tables for content management and e-commerce, making them prime targets. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data, violating GDPR and resulting in significant legal and financial penalties. Data integrity could be compromised, affecting business operations and trustworthiness. Availability may also be impacted if attackers delete or corrupt database contents, causing service outages. The vulnerability's remote and unauthenticated nature increases the likelihood of widespread exploitation. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, retail, and government are at heightened risk due to the sensitivity of their data and the criticality of their services. Additionally, the potential for attackers to use this vulnerability as a foothold for further attacks elevates the overall threat landscape for European entities.

1. Immediately monitor for updates from Shahjahan Jewel and apply patches to Ninja Tables as soon as they are released. 2. In the absence of patches, consider temporarily disabling the Ninja Tables plugin or removing it if not essential. 3. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with robust SQL Injection detection and prevention rules tailored to WordPress environments. 4. Conduct a comprehensive security audit of all WordPress plugins and themes to identify and remediate other potential vulnerabilities. 5. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any SQL injection. 6. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with Ninja Tables, if customization is possible. 7. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 8. Educate web administrators about the risks and signs of SQL Injection attacks. 9. Regularly back up databases and verify the integrity of backups to enable rapid recovery if compromise occurs. 10. Consider network segmentation to isolate web servers from critical internal systems to limit lateral movement.
