Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-27312 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-89, in the Jenst WP Sitemap plugin (wp-sitemap) for WordPress. This issue affects all versions of the plugin from n/a through 1.0 inclusive. The vulnerability was published on 2025-02-24 and 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).

The vulnerability can be exploited by low-privileged authenticated users (PR:L) over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N). Exploitation changes scope (S:C) and allows attackers to achieve high-impact confidentiality loss (C:H), such as unauthorized access to sensitive data via SQL query manipulation, alongside low availability impact (A:L).
