CVE-2025-8994: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wedevs Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management, Task Management, Kanban Board & Time Tracker
The Project Management, Team Collaboration, Kanban Board, Gantt Charts, Task Manager and More – WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘completed_at_operator’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.26 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-8994 is a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.6.26. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'completed_at_operator' parameter, allowing authenticated users with low privileges to append SQL queries to existing commands. This vulnerability enables unauthorized data extraction from the database due to insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements in the affected SQL queries.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict user privileges to minimize exposure and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'completed_at_operator' parameter. Avoid granting unnecessary Subscriber-level access to untrusted users.
