Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-67928 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that enables Blind SQL Injection in the themesuite Automotive Listings WordPress plugin. The affected component is Automotive Listings, with the issue impacting versions from n/a through 18.6.
The vulnerability 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), meaning it is exploitable over the network by unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N). Exploitation changes scope (S:C) and allows high confidentiality impact (C:H), such as extracting sensitive data from the database through blind SQL injection techniques, alongside low availability impact (A:L).
