Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-25150 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command vulnerability, classified as CWE-89, that enables Blind SQL Injection in the Stylemix uListing WordPress plugin. This issue affects the uListing plugin from unknown initial versions through version 2.1.6 inclusive. The vulnerability was published on 2025-03-03T14:15:53.477 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of privileges or user interaction required, and high confidentiality impact with changed scope.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to perform blind SQL injection, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database (high confidentiality impact) while causing limited availability disruption (low availability impact) and no integrity impact.
Patchstack provides an advisory on this vulnerability via its database for the uListing WordPress plugin, which security practitioners should consult for detailed mitigation guidance, including available patches or workarounds.
