CVE-2025-13359 Details
Description
The Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the "getTermsForAjax" function in all versions up to, and including, 3.40.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameters 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 granted they have metabox access for the taxonomy (enabled by default for contributors).
A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.40.1. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied parameters and insufficient preparation of the SQL query in the 'getTermsForAjax' function. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries into existing ones, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive database information, provided they have metabox access for the taxonomy, which is typically enabled by default for contributors.
Users are advised to update the Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI plugin to version 3.41.0 or later.
