CVE-2025-10726: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The WPRecovery plugin for WordPress contains a critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-10726) discovered in all versions up to and including 2.0. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on October 2, 2025, and affects the 'data[id]' parameter. This security flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks due to insufficient parameter escaping (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) within the plugin's functionality. The issue specifically occurs in the 'data[id]' parameter where insufficient escaping and inadequate SQL query preparation create the vulnerability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.1 (Critical), with a vector string of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H, indicating a critical severity level with network accessibility and no required privileges or user interaction (NVD).

The vulnerability allows attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. Moreover, since the SQL injection result is passed directly to PHP's unlink() function, attackers can exploit this to delete arbitrary files on the server through SQL query injection. This combination of database access and file system manipulation presents a severe security risk (NVD).

Users of the WPRecovery plugin should immediately update to a version newer than 2.0 if available, or consider removing the plugin until a patch is released. As this is a recently discovered vulnerability, website administrators should monitor their systems for any suspicious activities and consider implementing additional security measures such as Web Application Firewalls (NVD).
