Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-49050 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability, specifically enabling Blind SQL Injection, in the WP Lead Capturing Pages plugin (wp-lead-capture) developed by kamleshyadav for WordPress. The issue affects all versions of the plugin from unknown initial release through version 2.5 inclusive.

The vulnerability has 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 authenticated users with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation allows attackers to achieve high confidentiality impact by extracting sensitive data via blind SQL techniques, low availability impact, and a changed scope, without affecting integrity.
