Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-10726 is a serious cybersecurity vulnerability that affects the WPRecovery plugin for WordPress, which is widely used across many websites for data recovery. The flaw opens the door for unauthenticated attackers to exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities present in the system. This vulnerability not only exposes sensitive information, but also allows attackers to manipulate server files, leading to potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage. It is crucial for organizations and individuals using this plugin to understand the risk posed by this vulnerability<\/a> and take immediate mitigation measures.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-10726
\nSeverity: Critical (9.1 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise<\/a>, potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

WPRecovery Plugin for WordPress<\/a> | Up to and including 2.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises due<\/a> to insufficient escaping on the user supplied ‘data[id] parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the WPRecovery plugin for WordPress<\/a>. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this flaw to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries. As the result of this SQL injection is passed directly to PHP’s unlink() function, attackers can delete arbitrary files on the server by injecting<\/a> file paths through the SQL query.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This could be a sample HTTP request:<\/p>\n

POST \/wp_recovery\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ \"data[id]\": \"1; DROP TABLE users; --\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker is using a classic SQL injection<\/a> attack to drop the “users” table from the database.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
To remediate this vulnerability, users of the affected versions of the WPRecovery Plugin<\/a> for WordPress should apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. As a temporary mitigation, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor and block suspicious activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
