CVE-2025-47651 Overview
CVE-2025-47651 is a SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the Infility Global WordPress plugin. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands [CWE-89]. Attackers with low-privilege authenticated access can inject malicious SQL statements through vulnerable input parameters. The vulnerability affects all Infility Global plugin versions up to and including 2.15.06. Successful exploitation exposes confidential database contents and can affect application availability. The scope is changed, meaning the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component to other resources.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can extract sensitive data from the WordPress database and impact site availability through crafted SQL payloads sent over the network.
Affected Products
- Infility Global plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.15.06
- WordPress sites using the infility-global plugin
- All prior releases of Infility Global without a documented fixed version
Discovery Timeline

Technical Details for CVE-2025-47651
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is a classic SQL Injection issue in the Infility Global WordPress plugin. User-supplied input reaches SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can send crafted requests over the network to trigger the flaw. The attack complexity is low, and no user interaction is required.
Because the CVSS scope is changed, exploitation can affect resources beyond the immediate plugin component. This includes the underlying WordPress database, which stores credentials, session tokens, and site configuration data. The confidentiality impact is high, while availability impact is limited.
Root Cause
The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands [CWE-89]. The plugin concatenates untrusted input directly into SQL statements instead of using prepared statements or WordPress's $wpdb->prepare() API. This allows attacker-controlled data to alter query structure and semantics.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based. An authenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests containing malicious SQL payloads to a vulnerable endpoint exposed by the Infility Global plugin. The injected SQL executes against the WordPress database. Typical payloads leverage UNION SELECT clauses to enumerate tables, extract user credentials from wp_users, or read session tokens from wp_usermeta.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-47651
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to Infility Global plugin endpoints containing SQL metacharacters such as ', --, UNION, or SLEEP(
- Unexpected database errors in WordPress logs referencing plugin functions
- Anomalous outbound queries or bulk reads from wp_users and wp_options tables
- New or modified administrator accounts created outside normal workflows
Detection Strategies
- Deploy a web application firewall with signatures for common SQL Injection payloads targeting WordPress plugins
- Enable MySQL general query logging and alert on queries with concatenated user input or suspicious UNION operations
- Monitor WordPress debug.log for WordPress database error entries originating from the infility-global plugin
Monitoring Recommendations
- Track authenticated session activity for low-privilege accounts issuing repeated requests to plugin endpoints
- Baseline normal query volumes and alert on spikes indicative of automated injection scanning
- Correlate failed and successful authentication events with subsequent plugin endpoint access
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-47651
Immediate Actions Required
- Identify all WordPress installations running the Infility Global plugin at version 2.15.06 or earlier
- Disable or remove the infility-global plugin until a patched version is confirmed available
- Rotate WordPress administrator credentials and API keys if exploitation is suspected
- Restrict access to authenticated endpoints using IP allowlisting where feasible
Patch Information
At the time of publication, no fixed version is documented in the NVD entry. Administrators should consult the Patchstack Vulnerability Report and vendor communications for the latest remediation status.
Workarounds
- Deactivate the Infility Global plugin from the WordPress admin panel until a vendor fix is available
- Deploy WAF rules that block SQL Injection patterns targeting plugin URL paths
- Enforce the principle of least privilege for WordPress accounts to limit which users can reach the vulnerable endpoints
- Enable database-level query monitoring to detect anomalous SQL statements originating from the WordPress process
# Configuration example: disable the vulnerable plugin via WP-CLI
wp plugin deactivate infility-global
wp plugin status infility-global
