CVE-2025-10163 Details
Description
The List category posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘starting_with’ parameter of the catlist shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.91.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the List Category Posts plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 0.91.0. The issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'starting_with' parameter of the catlist shortcode, coupled with a lack of proper preparation in the SQL query. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the database.
Users are advised to update the List Category Posts plugin to version 0.92.0 or later.
