WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

An SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-31526) was discovered in the Behance Portfolio Manager WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to 1.7.4. The vulnerability was reported by Trương Hữu Phúc on February 20, 2025, and was publicly disclosed on March 31, 2025. This security flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to perform SQL injection attacks against the affected installations (Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L. The vulnerability requires low attack complexity and can be exploited remotely, though it does require low-privileged user access (NVD).

The SQL injection vulnerability could allow malicious actors with authenticated access to directly interact with the database, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the WordPress database. The high CVSS score indicates significant potential for data compromise, though the attack requires authentication (Patchstack).

As of the disclosure date, no official fix has been released for this vulnerability. Given the severity of SQL injection vulnerabilities, it is recommended that users either implement strict access controls to limit authenticated users or consider temporarily disabling the plugin until a patch becomes available (Patchstack).
