CVE-2025-67519: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-67519 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ninja Tables WordPress plugin (by Shahjahan Jewel / WPManageNinja) affecting all versions up to and including 5.2.3. The vulnerability was reported on November 21, 2025, published by Patchstack on December 9–15, 2025, and patched in version 5.2.4. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.6 (High), requiring high privileges (Administrator/Developer level) for exploitation (Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), meaning user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries executed against the WordPress database. Exploitation requires network access and high-privilege credentials (Administrator or Developer role), with no user interaction needed and a changed scope, indicating potential impact beyond the plugin itself. The flaw maps to OWASP Top 10 category A3: Injection, and attack patterns include classic SQL injection (CAPEC-66), blind SQL injection (CAPEC-7), and command-line execution through SQL injection (CAPEC-108) (Patchstack).

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with administrator or developer privileges to directly interact with the WordPress database, potentially reading sensitive data (high confidentiality impact), and causing limited availability disruption (low availability impact), though integrity impact is not scored. The changed scope indicates the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the plugin itself, potentially exposing credentials, user data, or other sensitive database contents stored in the WordPress installation (Patchstack).

There is no known public proof-of-concept exploit and no evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation at this time. The EPSS score is approximately 0.021% (0.000210), indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Patchstack classifies this as low priority with unlikely exploitation, though it notes that SQL injection vulnerabilities of this class are sometimes used in mass-exploit campaigns targeting WordPress sites (Patchstack).

The vendor has released a patched version: Ninja Tables 5.2.4, which resolves the SQL injection vulnerability. All users running version 5.2.3 or earlier should update immediately via the WordPress plugin dashboard. Patchstack users can enable auto-update for vulnerable plugins as an additional safeguard. As supplementary measures, administrators should audit database access controls, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter malicious SQL inputs, and review WordPress user roles to limit administrator/developer access to trusted accounts only (Patchstack).

The vulnerability was covered in Sucuri's December 2025 vulnerability patch roundup, indicating it received standard industry attention as part of routine WordPress security monitoring. No notable individual researcher commentary or significant social media discussion has been identified beyond standard vulnerability database listings (Sucuri Blog).
