Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69366 is an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command vulnerability, classified as CWE-89, affecting the TeconceTheme Emerce Core WordPress plugin (emerce-core). It enables Blind SQL Injection and impacts all versions from n/a through 1.8 inclusive. The vulnerability was published on 2026-02-20T16:22:20.740 and 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).

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows high confidentiality impact through data extraction via blind SQL injection techniques, alongside low availability impact, due to the changed scope affecting the plugin's database interactions.

Mitigation details are available in advisories such as the Patchstack database entry at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/emerce-core/vulnerability/wordpress-emerce-core-plugin-1-8-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

SI-10 mandates information input validation at entry points to neutralize special elements used in SQL commands, directly preventing this blind SQL injection vulnerability.

prevent

SI-2 requires timely flaw remediation, including patching the Emerce Core plugin to fixed versions beyond 1.8, eliminating the specific SQL injection vulnerability.

prevent

SI-9 restricts classes of information inputs, limiting the ability of attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads into the vulnerable plugin's database interactions.
