Summary
CVE-2025-1323 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Plechevandrey Wp-Recall. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 14% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
The WP-Recall plugin for WordPress, which provides registration, profile, commerce, and related functionality, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in all versions through 16.26.10. The flaw exists in the handling of the 'databeat' parameter, where insufficient escaping of user input and the absence of prepared statements allow an attacker to modify existing database queries.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network by supplying crafted input that appends additional SQL statements, enabling extraction of sensitive data from the WordPress database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5, reflecting its remote exploitability without authentication or user interaction and its impact on confidentiality.
A patch addressing the parameter handling was committed to the plugin's repository, and Wordfence published corresponding threat intelligence. Administrators should update to a fixed version once released and apply standard WordPress plugin hygiene such as restricting unnecessary database exposure.
The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.5321 on 2025-12-11 before receding to 0.2862, indicating increased exploitation interest after public disclosure.

sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.
Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.
System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.
Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.
Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.
Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.
Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.
Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
