CVE-2025-69351 identifies a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ninja Tables plugin developed by Shahjahan Jewel, affecting versions up to and including 5.2.4. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code that the backend database executes. Blind SQL Injection means the attacker cannot directly see query results but can infer information through side effects or timing. The CVSS score is 6.5 (medium), with an attack vector of network (remote), low attack complexity, requiring low privileges but no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the database, enabling attackers to modify or corrupt data, but does not affect confidentiality or availability. No known public exploits exist yet, and no patches have been officially released, though the vulnerability is published and tracked. This issue is critical for web applications relying on Ninja Tables for data management, as it can lead to unauthorized data manipulation. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for environments where the plugin is installed with database users having elevated privileges, increasing the risk of significant data integrity compromise.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification or corruption of database records managed via Ninja Tables, potentially disrupting business operations, data accuracy, and decision-making processes. While confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity breach can undermine trust in data-driven applications and compliance with data governance regulations such as GDPR. Organizations in sectors like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce that rely on accurate tabular data presentation and manipulation are at higher risk. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate risk, especially as attackers may develop exploits once patches are released. The vulnerability's network accessibility and low complexity increase the likelihood of exploitation in poorly secured environments. Failure to mitigate could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions.

1. Monitor Shahjahan Jewel’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-69351 and apply updates promptly. 2. Until patches are available, restrict database user permissions associated with Ninja Tables to the minimum necessary, avoiding elevated privileges that allow data modification. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns, including blind injection techniques. 4. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews of web applications using Ninja Tables to identify and remediate injection points. 5. Implement input validation and sanitization at the application level to prevent malicious SQL payloads. 6. Employ database activity monitoring to detect anomalous queries indicative of injection attempts. 7. Educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection vulnerabilities. 8. Consider isolating critical databases and using parameterized queries or prepared statements if customization of the plugin is possible.
