Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24667 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the WordPress plugin Small Package Quotes – Worldwide Express Edition (small-package-quotes-wwe-edition) developed by enituretechnology. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads. It affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 5.2.17.

Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L). Successful exploitation enables high-impact confidentiality violations, such as extracting sensitive data from the database, with a changed scope potentially affecting broader system components and minor availability disruption.
