Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69180 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command vulnerability, classified as CWE-89, that enables Blind SQL Injection in the Ultra Portfolio WordPress plugin developed by themepassion. The affected component is the ultra-portfolio plugin, with vulnerability impacting versions from n/a through 6.7. Published on 2026-01-22, it carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant data exposure.

Low-privileged remote attackers (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation allows high confidentiality impact (C:H) across the security scope (S:C), enabling data exfiltration via blind SQL injection techniques, alongside low availability impact (A:L) and no integrity impact (I:N).

The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/ultra-portfolio/vulnerability/wordpress-ultra-portfolio-plugin-6-7-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve provides details on this SQL injection vulnerability in the Ultra Portfolio plugin up to version 6.7; security practitioners should review it for recommended mitigations and patch availability.
