CVE-2025-22542Network attack vector

Unauthenticated database disclosure via unprepared SQL query

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

SQL injection in Ofek Nakar Virtual Bot 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data through unauthenticated requests. Public advisories identify insufficient escaping of a user-supplied parameter and inadequate preparation of an existing SQL query, but do not disclose the affected endpoint, parameter, or function. An internet- or intranet-reachable WordPress site with the plugin active is exposed without login or user interaction, and the demonstrated consequence is blind extraction of sensitive database information.
