Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-22519 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-89, affecting the eDoc Easy Tables WordPress plugin developed by jerodmoore under the edoc-easy-tables package. This issue impacts all versions of the plugin up to and including 1.29, as published on 2025-01-07.
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 remotely over the network by low-privileged users with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Attackers with such privileges, such as authenticated WordPress contributors, can inject malicious SQL payloads to achieve high-impact confidentiality violations, such as unauthorized data extraction, alongside limited availability disruption, with the attack scope changing to affect other system components.
