CVE-2025-22693Network attack vector

Database disclosure via unprepared SQL query

Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

SQL injection in Contest Gallery 25.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with Author access to read database data. The public advisories do not identify the affected parameter or query locus; they state that user input is insufficiently escaped before an existing SQL query is executed. Author-level WordPress access is required, and the reported consequence is database information disclosure rather than unauthenticated site compromise.
