CVE-2025-13000Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database disclosure via injectable AJAX key

Published Dec 2, 2025 · Updated Dec 2, 2025

SQL injection in Jimbob1953 DB Access 0 through 0.8.7 allows remote authenticated users to read database data via an AJAX request. The update_cell_action handler processes the attacker-controlled key value as SQL syntax in its database cell-update operation. Subscriber-level access and a valid WordPress session are sufficient; the verified proof of concept demonstrates a time-based database read oracle.
