CVE-2025-67950 is a vulnerability classified as an improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, commonly known as SQL Injection, found in the All In One SEO Pack WordPress plugin developed by Syed Balkhi. This plugin is widely used to optimize websites for search engines. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.9.1. It allows an attacker with low privileges to perform blind SQL injection attacks remotely without requiring user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.5, indicating high severity, with the vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. This means the attack is network-based, requires low privileges, no user interaction, but has high attack complexity and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a scope change. Blind SQL injection enables attackers to extract sensitive data from the backend database by sending crafted queries and observing responses or timing differences. This can lead to data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or even full system compromise if combined with other vulnerabilities. No public exploits are known yet, but the vulnerability is published and should be considered a significant risk. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, increasing urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability's presence in a popular SEO plugin increases the attack surface for WordPress sites globally.

European organizations using WordPress websites with the All In One SEO Pack plugin up to version 4.9.1 face significant risks. The vulnerability allows attackers to extract sensitive information such as user credentials, business data, or configuration details, potentially leading to data breaches under GDPR regulations. Integrity of website content and backend databases can be compromised, enabling attackers to alter SEO settings, inject malicious content, or disrupt services. Availability may also be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. This can damage brand reputation, lead to regulatory fines, and cause operational disruptions. Given the widespread use of WordPress in Europe, especially among SMEs and digital service providers, the impact could be broad. Organizations in sectors like e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and government are particularly at risk due to the sensitivity of their data and regulatory scrutiny. The vulnerability's remote exploitation capability without user interaction increases the likelihood of automated attacks targeting vulnerable sites.

1. Monitor official sources and plugin repositories for patches and apply updates to All In One SEO Pack immediately once available. 2. In the absence of a patch, consider temporarily disabling or removing the plugin if feasible. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection and prevention rules tailored to WordPress environments to block malicious payloads. 4. Conduct thorough security audits of WordPress installations to identify and remediate other potential vulnerabilities. 5. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of SQL injection. 6. Implement network segmentation and monitoring to detect anomalous database queries or traffic patterns. 7. Educate administrators about the risks of outdated plugins and enforce strict update policies. 8. Use security plugins that can detect suspicious activity related to SQL injection attempts. 9. Regularly back up website data and databases to enable recovery in case of compromise. 10. Consider employing runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions that can detect and block SQL injection attacks in real time.
