CVE-2025-67950 identifies a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability within the All In One SEO Pack WordPress plugin developed by Syed Balkhi, affecting all versions up to and including 4.9.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, which allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL queries into the backend database. Blind SQL Injection means that while the attacker cannot directly see the database output, they can infer data by observing application behavior or timing differences. This vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The plugin is widely used for SEO management on WordPress sites, making the attack surface large. Exploiting this flaw could allow attackers to extract sensitive information, modify or delete data, or escalate privileges within the affected website's database. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no public exploits are known at this time. The vulnerability was reserved and published in December 2025, indicating recent discovery. The absence of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate attention once updates are released. The vulnerability's technical details confirm it is a classic SQL injection flaw, a well-understood and critical web security issue.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of website data managed via WordPress using the All In One SEO Pack plugin. Attackers exploiting this flaw could access sensitive customer data, intellectual property, or internal business information stored in the database. This could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and potential financial losses. Additionally, manipulation of SEO settings or website content could disrupt business operations or degrade search engine rankings, impacting revenue. The fact that no authentication or user interaction is required broadens the scope of potential attacks, allowing remote exploitation by unauthenticated threat actors. Given the widespread use of WordPress and this plugin in Europe, especially among SMEs and digital media companies, the impact could be substantial if exploited at scale.

1. Monitor official channels from Syed Balkhi and the WordPress plugin repository for security patches and apply updates immediately once available. 2. Until a patch is released, implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with specific rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 3. Conduct thorough code audits and penetration testing on websites using this plugin to identify any signs of exploitation or related vulnerabilities. 4. Limit database user privileges associated with the WordPress installation to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage from SQL injection. 5. Employ input validation and sanitization at the application level where possible, even though this is a plugin vulnerability. 6. Regularly back up website data and databases to enable quick recovery in case of compromise. 7. Educate web administrators about the risks of SQL injection and encourage prompt patch management practices.
