WordPress · Db Backup · CVE-2025-6462
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
EZ SQL Reports Shortcode Widget and DB Backup plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.25.11
Description:
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's SQLREPORT shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 5.25.11, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SQLREPORT shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
