WordPress · Coreactivity · CVE-2025-3436
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
coreActivity: Activity Logging plugin for WordPress versions prior to 2.8
Description:
The issue arises from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters `order` and `orderby`, and a lack of proper preparation of existing SQL queries. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2.8, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue, as the current version is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks via the `order` and `orderby` parameters.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `order` and `orderby` parameters in the affected plugin until a patch is available.
