Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69295 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that enables Blind SQL Injection in the TeconceTheme Coven Core (coven-core) WordPress plugin. This flaw affects Coven Core versions from n/a through 1.3 inclusive and was published on 2026-02-20.

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 unauthenticated remote attackers require only low complexity and no user interaction to exploit it over the network. Exploitation allows attackers to achieve high confidentiality impact through data extraction from the database, alongside low availability impact and a change in scope.

Mitigation details are available in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/coven-core/vulnerability/wordpress-coven-core-plugin-1-3-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve, which addresses the SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress Coven Core plugin version 1.3.
