CVE-2025-30604 Overview
CVE-2025-30604 is a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the JiangQie Official Website Mini Program WordPress plugin (jiangqie-official-website-mini-program). The flaw exists in versions up to and including 1.8.2 and stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands [CWE-89]. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can inject malicious SQL fragments into queries processed by the plugin. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to extract sensitive database contents and impact the availability of the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability was published to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) on March 24, 2025.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can perform Blind SQL Injection against WordPress installations running the plugin, leading to confidentiality loss and partial availability impact across the affected site and connected database scope.
Affected Products
- JiangQie Official Website Mini Program plugin for WordPress
- All versions from n/a through <= 1.8.2
- WordPress sites with the jiangqie-official-website-mini-program plugin installed and active

Technical Details for CVE-2025-30604
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is classified as Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command [CWE-89]. The plugin accepts user-supplied input and passes it into SQL queries without adequate sanitization or parameterization. Because the application does not return database error messages or query results directly, exploitation takes the form of Blind SQL Injection. Attackers infer data values from differences in response behavior, such as boolean conditions or timing delays. This pattern is common in WordPress plugins that build query strings via string concatenation rather than using $wpdb->prepare() with placeholders.
Root Cause
The root cause is missing input validation and the absence of prepared statements when handling parameters consumed by the plugin's database access logic. Special SQL characters such as single quotes, comments, and boolean operators are not properly escaped before being appended to query strings. This allows attacker-controlled values to alter the structure of executed SQL statements.
Attack Vector
Exploitation occurs over the network against the WordPress site. The attacker must hold high-privilege authenticated access to the WordPress instance before injecting crafted payloads into vulnerable plugin parameters. Because the scope is changed, a successful injection can affect components beyond the vulnerable plugin's own data, including other tables in the WordPress database. The impact emphasizes confidentiality and partial availability rather than integrity.
No public proof-of-concept code is available. See the Patchstack SQL Injection Vulnerability advisory for the published technical reference.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-30604
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual outbound queries or repeated requests to plugin endpoints containing SQL meta-characters such as ', --, UNION, SLEEP(, or BENCHMARK(.
- Spikes in HTTP response latency tied to specific plugin URLs, indicating time-based blind injection probing.
- WordPress access logs showing repeated requests from authenticated high-privilege accounts targeting plugin parameters.
- Database logs containing malformed or unexpected SELECT, UNION SELECT, or conditional IF() constructs originating from the plugin's queries.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules that flag SQL injection signatures on requests to /wp-admin/ and plugin-specific endpoints associated with jiangqie-official-website-mini-program.
- Enable WordPress audit logging to record actions performed by administrator-level accounts, since exploitation requires high privileges.
- Correlate authentication events with subsequent database errors or anomalous query patterns through centralized log analysis.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor MySQL or MariaDB slow-query and error logs for syntax errors or unusual timing patterns originating from PHP worker processes.
- Track changes to the WordPress wp_users and wp_options tables for unauthorized modifications following suspicious activity.
- Alert on creation of new administrator accounts or modifications to plugin configuration shortly after suspicious request patterns.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-30604
Immediate Actions Required
- Identify all WordPress instances running the jiangqie-official-website-mini-program plugin at version 1.8.2 or earlier.
- Deactivate and remove the plugin until a vendor-supplied patched version is confirmed available.
- Rotate credentials for all high-privilege WordPress accounts, since exploitation requires authenticated access at that level.
- Audit database contents and administrator account lists for signs of unauthorized changes.
Patch Information
At the time of publication, no fixed version is referenced in the available NVD data. Administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory for the latest remediation guidance and to verify when a patched release becomes available from the vendor.
Workarounds
- Restrict access to the WordPress administration interface using IP allow-listing or VPN-only access controls.
- Apply virtual patching through a WAF with SQL injection signatures tuned for WordPress plugin endpoints.
- Enforce least privilege by limiting the number of users holding administrator or editor roles on affected sites.
- Enable multi-factor authentication for all privileged WordPress accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise enabling exploitation.
# Example: disable the vulnerable plugin via WP-CLI until a patched version is released
wp plugin deactivate jiangqie-official-website-mini-program
wp plugin delete jiangqie-official-website-mini-program
