Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection in eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat versions <= 3.0. No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration required. CVSS vector indicates network-accessible vulnerability with low attack complexity.

Impact

This vulnerability carries high real-world risk despite the absence of a CVSS score or EPSS metric. SQL injection vulnerabilities are universally considered critical because they typically allow unauthenticated attackers to compromise database confidentiality and integrity. The attack vector is likely network-based (given it is a WordPress plugin accessible via web), the attack complexity appears low (SQL injection is straightforward to exploit), and it likely requires no authentication, making it highly exploitable. The fact that Patchstack has documented it and ENISA has assigned it a tracking ID (EUVD-2026-15695) indicates that the vulnerability has been assessed as legitimate and noteworthy. Without confirmed KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) status or public POC, the immediate active exploitation risk is unclear, but the ease of SQL injection exploitation means attackers will likely develop working exploits quickly. Organizations running versions up to 3.0 of this plugin should treat this as a priority remediation item.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers the plugin is active on a WordPress site and identifies an input field (such as a job search parameter or chat message field) that is not properly sanitized. The attacker injects a SQL fragment such as ' OR '1'='1 or a UNION-based payload to extract sensitive data from the WordPress database, potentially harvesting user credentials, private messages, or job listing information. Given the network-accessible nature of WordPress plugins and the typically low attack complexity of SQL injection, an unauthenticated attacker could execute this attack directly via HTTP requests with minimal technical effort.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 25, 2026

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.0, that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the underlying database. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special SQL characters in user-supplied input, classified under CWE-89 (SQL Injection). While no CVSS score or EPSS metric is currently available, the vulnerability has been documented by Patchstack and assigned ENISA EUVD tracking ID EUVD-2026-15695, indicating active awareness in vulnerability tracking systems.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to upgrade the Addon Jobsearch Chat plugin to a version later than 3.0 if a patched version is available from eyecix; consult the vendor's release notes and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/addon-jobsearch-chat/vulnerability/wordpress-addon-jobsearch-chat-plugin-3-0-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) to confirm availability and installation instructions. If no patch is currently available, immediately disable and deactivate the plugin to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the plugin's functionality using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules, limit database user permissions to read-only or minimal required access, and monitor database logs for suspicious query patterns. Ensure all WordPress installations, plugins, and themes are kept current, and implement database query logging to detect any exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Addon Jobsearch Chat plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:eyecix:addon_jobsearch_chat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress plugin that provides job search and chat functionality. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), which occurs when user-controlled input is concatenated directly into SQL queries without proper parameterization or escaping. This is a classic SQL injection flaw where an attacker can manipulate SQL syntax by injecting malicious characters or SQL fragments through input fields, potentially allowing them to extract, modify, or delete database records. The plugin appears to interact with WordPress database APIs but fails to use prepared statements or parameterized queries to safely handle user input.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-25377 presents critical security risk, a SQL injection vulnerability rated CVSS 9.3. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
