Security Summary

CVE-2025-24728 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command vulnerability, classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89), specifically enabling Blind SQL Injection in the Bug Library WordPress plugin developed by Yannick Lefebvre. This issue affects all versions of the plugin from unknown initial release through 2.1.4.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating it can be exploited over the network with low attack complexity by users possessing low privileges, such as authenticated low-level WordPress users, without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation changes the scope, allowing high-impact confidentiality violations through data extraction via blind SQL injection techniques, with no integrity impact and only low availability disruption.

Details on mitigation, including patches for the WordPress Bug Library plugin vulnerability up to version 2.1.4, are provided in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/bug-library/vulnerability/wordpress-bug-library-plugin-2-1-4-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
