    Overview

    The CVE-2025-6970 vulnerability pertains to a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability found in the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability specifically affects all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3, and poses a significant threat in terms of potential system compromise or data leakage.

    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-6970
    Severity: High (7.5 CVSS)
    Attack Vector: Network
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: Possible system compromise and data leakage.

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    Events Manager Plugin for WordPress | Up to, and including, 7.0.3

    How the Exploit Works

    The exploit is conducted through time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter. Due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of proper preparation on the existing SQL query, unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries into already existing ones. This allows the attacker to extract sensitive information from the database.

    Conceptual Example Code

    Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request with a malicious payload:

    GET /wordpress/index.php?orderby=' OR SLEEP(5) -- HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
    Accept: */*
    Accept-Language: en
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3
    Connection: close

    In this example, if the server response is significantly delayed (by approximately 5 seconds, as indicated by the SLEEP(5) function), it indicates that the SQL injection was successful.

    Mitigation Guidance

    The recommended mitigation strategy for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. In the interim, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used to temporarily mitigate the risk.

    The following is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:

    POST /verifyWebhook HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
    Content-Type: application/json
    {
    "webhook_event": "user_update",
    "signature": "improperly_signed_signature",
    "user_data": {
    "username": "attacker",
    "password": "password123"
    }
    }

    In this example, an attacker sends a POST request with an improperly signed “user_update” webhook event, potentially allowing them to update user data.

    Mitigation Guidance

    The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is by applying the vendor patch – upgrading to @clerk/backend 2.4.0, which resolves the issue. As a temporary mitigation, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be employed to detect and block malicious webhook events.

    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-6742
    Severity: High (7.5 CVSS)
    Attack Vector: Network
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    SureForms – Drag and Drop Form Builder for WordPress| Up to and including 1.7.3

    How the Exploit Works

    The SureForms plugin has a flaw in the delete_entry_files() function. It uses file_exists() without placing any restriction on the path provided, making the plugin vulnerable to PHP Object Injection. This vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated users. However, the impact of this vulnerability relies on the presence of another plugin or theme containing a POP chain. If such a plugin or theme is installed, the attacker might be able to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code based on the POP chain.

    Conceptual Example Code

    Here’s a conceptual example of a malicious request that could exploit this vulnerability:

    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=sureforms_delete_entry_files HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
