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

The CVE-2025-2011 vulnerability presents a significant security risk for users of the Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to carry out SQL injection attacks to manipulate the database, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. This article presents an in-depth analysis of this vulnerability, its potential impact, and mitigation strategies.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-2011
\nSeverity: High (7.5 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System Compromise, Data Leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter plugin for WordPress | <=3.6.1\n\nHow the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit works by injecting malicious SQL queries via the ‘s’ parameter in the plugin’s code. Due to poor parameter escaping and lack of adequate SQL query preparation, an attacker can append additional SQL statements to existing queries. This allows the attacker to manipulate the database, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data or modifying system configurations.<\/p>\n

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

This is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

GET \/wp-content\/plugins\/slider-popup\/s.php?s=1 UNION SELECT 1,username,password FROM wp_users HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, an attacker uses the ‘UNION SELECT’ SQL statement to append a query that retrieves usernames and passwords from the ‘wp_users’ table, which stores user account data in a typical WordPress database.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to update the Slider & Popup Builder plugin to the latest version, where the vendor has patched the vulnerability. If patching is not possible, users can implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for temporary mitigation. These systems can detect and block malicious SQL injection attempts, providing a layer of protection against this particular exploit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
