CVE-2025-69180 is a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability found in the themepassion Ultra Portfolio plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 6.7. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into database queries without direct feedback (blind injection). This flaw can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires only low privileges (PR:L), without any user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) of the affected systems, enabling attackers to extract sensitive data, modify or delete records, and potentially disrupt service. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to showcase portfolios, making it a target for attackers seeking to compromise websites and underlying databases. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the high CVSS score of 8.8 reflects the serious risk posed by this vulnerability. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate attention to access controls and monitoring until updates are released.

For European organizations, the exploitation of this Blind SQL Injection vulnerability could lead to severe data breaches, exposing sensitive customer or business information. Integrity of data could be compromised by unauthorized modifications or deletions, impacting business operations and trust. Availability of services relying on the Ultra Portfolio plugin could be disrupted, leading to downtime and reputational damage. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, which often handle sensitive data and rely on web presence, are particularly vulnerable. The remote exploitability and low complexity increase the likelihood of attacks, especially against websites with weak privilege management. Additionally, compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations could be jeopardized if personal data is exposed or altered due to this vulnerability.

1. Monitor official themepassion channels and security advisories for patches addressing CVE-2025-69180 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, restrict access to the Ultra Portfolio plugin's administrative interfaces to trusted IP addresses and enforce strong authentication mechanisms. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the Ultra Portfolio plugin. 4. Conduct regular security audits and database activity monitoring to identify suspicious queries indicative of injection attempts. 5. Employ least privilege principles for user accounts interacting with the plugin to minimize potential damage from exploitation. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the Ultra Portfolio plugin if critical until a secure version is deployed. 7. Educate web administrators about the risks of SQL injection and best practices for plugin management and updates.
