CVE-2025-22652Network attack vector

Administrator-level SQL injection via unsanitized order parameter

Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

SQL injection in Payment Forms for Paystack 4.0.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read data via the payment-list order parameter. The payments-list query handles the user-controlled order value without sufficient escaping or prepared-query protection, allowing SQL to be appended. Administrator-level WordPress access is required; exploitation can extract sensitive database information and interrupt database-backed operations.
