Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-22349 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-89, affecting the WP Marka WordPress Auction Plugin (wp-auctions). This issue impacts versions from n/a through 3.7 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant data exposure.

High-privileged users (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation changes scope (S:C), enabling attackers to achieve high confidentiality impact (C:H) such as unauthorized data access, alongside low availability impact (A:L) and no integrity impact (I:N).
