CVE-2025-67921

Vulnerability

Overview

The Lobo WordPress theme, versions prior to 2.8.6, contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. This flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL queries through user-supplied input that are not properly sanitized before being used in database operations [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability without requiring authentication, making it accessible to any unauthenticated visitor. The attack vector is network-based, meaning the attacker only needs to send crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable theme. The low complexity of exploitation and the lack of user interaction required increase the risk of widespread exploitation [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to perform blind SQL injection, allowing them to extract sensitive information from the database, such as user credentials, personal data, or other confidential content. The CVSS v3 score of 8.5 indicates high severity, and the vulnerability is expected to be used in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of websites regardless of their size or popularity [1].

Mitigation

The vendor has released version 2.8.6 to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly advised to update the theme immediately. If updating is not possible, it is recommended to contact a hosting provider or web developer for assistance. No other workarounds are mentioned in the advisory [1].
