Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-69351 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability (CWE-89) in the Ninja Tables WordPress plugin by Shahjahan Jewel, which allows Blind SQL Injection. The issue affects Ninja Tables versions from n/a through 5.2.4 inclusive. It was published on 2026-01-06 with 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 high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant confidentiality impact.
The vulnerability can be exploited by low-privileged authenticated users (PR:L) over the network (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). Attackers can achieve high confidentiality impact (C:H) by extracting sensitive data from the database through blind SQL injection techniques, along with low availability impact (A:L) and no integrity impact (I:N). The scoped impact (S:C) reflects changes within the vulnerable component's scope.
