WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Traveler Code WordPress plugin contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-22699) discovered in versions up to and including 3.1.0. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on January 31, 2025, and is characterized by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. This security flaw affects the plugin's handling of user-supplied parameters and lacks sufficient preparation in existing SQL queries (Patchstack, WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection) and has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.0 (Critical) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and inadequate preparation of SQL queries, allowing for the injection of additional SQL commands into existing queries (Patchstack).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive database information. The high CVSS score indicates critical severity, with potential for complete system compromise through unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion (WPScan, Patchstack).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate the issue by blocking potential attacks until an official fix becomes available. Website administrators are advised to implement immediate mitigation measures or consider using Patchstack's virtual patching solution (Patchstack).
