Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in thanhtungtnt Video List Manager allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Video List Manager: from n/a through 1.7.
AnalysisAI
CVE-2025-52821 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in thanhtungtnt Video List Manager versions up to 1.7 that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.5 with high confidentiality impact and cross-site scope implications, meaning successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access and potential lateral movement within affected systems. While the attack requires valid credentials (PR:L), the network accessibility and low attack complexity make this a significant risk for organizations using this plugin.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special SQL metacharacters (CWE-89) in the thanhtungtnt Video List Manager plugin. The root cause involves user-supplied input being directly concatenated or insufficiently sanitized before being passed to SQL query construction, allowing attackers to break out of intended query syntax and inject arbitrary SQL commands. This is a classic SQL Injection flaw typically occurring in database abstraction layers or ORM implementations where parameterized queries or prepared statements are not employed. The plugin likely processes video list data through database queries without proper input validation or parameterized query mechanisms, enabling attackers to manipulate query logic to extract, modify, or delete database records.
RemediationAI
Immediate actions: (1) Update thanhtungtnt Video List Manager to a patched version beyond 1.7 if available from the WordPress plugin repository or vendor; (2) If no patch is available, disable the plugin immediately until a fix is released; (3) Apply principle of least privilege—restrict plugin access to trusted administrative users only; (4) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in requests to the affected plugin; (5) Monitor database query logs for suspicious SQL syntax or unusual data access patterns. Long-term: require use of prepared statements/parameterized queries in all database interactions within the plugin code, conduct security code review, and implement input validation/output encoding standards. Check the WordPress plugin repository for version 1.8+ or later patches.
