Overview
CVE-2026-25377 is a SQL injection weakness (CWE-89) in the Addon Jobsearch Chat addon (package addon-jobsearch-chat) published by eyecix for WordPress. According to the record, special characters used in an SQL command are not properly neutralized, which can allow crafted input to alter database queries.
Impact
- The CNA (audit@patchstack.com) assigned a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.3 with the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L.
- Decoded from the vector, the flaw is network-reachable, has low attack complexity, requires no privileges or user interaction, changes scope, and has high confidentiality impact, no integrity impact and low availability impact.
- The practical consequences in a specific installation depend on the database account and data exposed; the record does not describe them further.
Affected products and versions
- The description states the issue affects Addon Jobsearch Chat from n/a through 3.0 inclusive (<= 3.0).
- The structured affected-product list in the record is empty, so no machine-readable version ranges are available.
- Sites running this addon should treat any version in the stated range as potentially affected until the vendor or Patchstack confirms otherwise.
Exploitation status
- The CISA KEV catalog does not list this CVE in the record, so no active exploitation is recorded there.
- No confirmed exploitation in the wild appears in the sources consulted for this analysis.
- The EPSS probability is 0.00283 (percentile 0.19274), a statistical estimate of exploitation likelihood rather than evidence of attacks.
Remediation and mitigation
- The record contains no fixed version. This does not mean no fix exists; check the plugin vendor and the Patchstack entry for an updated release.
- Until a fix is confirmed, consider disabling the addon if it is not essential, and restrict access to its functions where possible.
- Apply the principle of least privilege to the WordPress database account so that a compromised query path has limited reach.
- Place a web application firewall or equivalent filtering in front of the site as a compensating control, recognising that it reduces but does not remove risk.
- Keep WordPress core, other plugins and themes updated, and review the Patchstack advisory for vendor-specific details.
Detection guidance
- Review web server and application logs for unusual or malformed values submitted to the addon's chat and job search functions.
- Watch for database error messages surfaced in web responses, which can indicate that input reaches SQL queries unfiltered.
- Monitor the database for queries or access patterns that do not match normal plugin behaviour.
- Verify the installed addon version against the stated range and maintain an inventory of WordPress plugins.
Limitations of the available information
- The record has no title in the structured field and no affected or fixed version list.
- The CVSS score comes from the CNA; no separate NVD or other scoring provider entry appears in the record.
- The record lists a source status of Deferred, so details may change as the CVE is processed.
- The EPSS date in the record (2026-10-13) should be verified against the source before relying on that score's timing.
- Full exploit conditions and the exact vulnerable code path are not described in the available data.
