Published: 14 January 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-14770 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Wordpress (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 29.9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-14770 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the Shipping Rate By Cities plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.0. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'city' parameter and lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL query, allowing injection of malicious SQL code.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation enables appending additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), with CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command).
