CVE-2025-67519 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ninja Tables plugin by Shahjahan Jewel, affecting all versions up to 5.2.3. The root cause is improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, which allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data corruption, or even full compromise of the underlying database and potentially the hosting environment. The vulnerability is present in the way Ninja Tables processes user inputs that are incorporated into SQL queries without adequate sanitization or parameterization. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities makes them attractive targets for attackers due to the ease of exploitation and potential for significant impact. The lack of a CVSS score means severity must be assessed based on technical characteristics: SQL Injection vulnerabilities typically have a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, can often be exploited remotely without authentication, and do not require user interaction. Ninja Tables is a popular WordPress plugin used for creating and managing tables, which is widely deployed across many websites, including those operated by European organizations. The vulnerability was published on December 9, 2025, and no official patches or mitigation links are currently available, emphasizing the need for immediate attention once fixes are released.

For European organizations, exploitation of this SQL Injection vulnerability could result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, including customer information, business records, or intellectual property. Attackers could modify or delete data, undermining data integrity and potentially causing operational disruptions. In worst-case scenarios, attackers might leverage the vulnerability to gain deeper access into the network or execute arbitrary commands on the server hosting the plugin. This could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and financial losses. Organizations relying on Ninja Tables for critical business functions or public-facing websites are particularly vulnerable. The impact is heightened in sectors with stringent data protection requirements such as finance, healthcare, and government services. Additionally, the absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but also means attackers may develop exploits rapidly once the vulnerability is publicly known.

1. Monitor Shahjahan Jewel’s official channels and Patchstack for release of security patches addressing CVE-2025-67519 and apply them immediately upon availability. 2. Until patches are released, implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and prevention rules tailored to block suspicious input patterns targeting Ninja Tables. 3. Conduct thorough code reviews and security audits of any customizations or integrations involving Ninja Tables to identify and remediate unsafe SQL query constructions. 4. Employ input validation and parameterized queries where possible to reduce SQL Injection risk. 5. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. 6. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of database queries and web application activity to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate development and security teams about the risks of SQL Injection and best practices for secure coding and plugin management. 8. Consider temporary disabling or replacing Ninja Tables on critical systems if patching is delayed and risk is deemed unacceptable.
