CVE-2025-2011 is an unauthenticated SQL injection (CWE-89) in the Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter plugin for WordPress, present in all versions up to and including 3.6.1. The plugin insufficiently escapes the user-supplied 's' parameter and does not adequately prepare the existing SQL query, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to append additional SQL queries to already-existing queries via crafted network requests that require no privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database, potentially including user data and credentials, though it does not directly permit code execution or data modification. Any WordPress site running the plugin at version 3.6.1 or earlier is affected, with the exposure bounded by the plugin's install base of roughly tens of thousands of sites. No public proof-of-concept, CISA KEV listing, or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is known yet, but the elevated EPSS score (46.4% probability of exploitation within 30 days, 99th percentile) indicates defenders should patch promptly.

What to do: Update Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter to the latest patched release (anything newer than 3.6.1 addresses this flaw) as soon as possible. As an interim mitigation, apply WAF/virtual-patching rules that inspect the 's' parameter for SQL syntax on unauthenticated requests, and review access logs for requests where 's' contains quotes or SQL keywords (e.g., UNION, SELECT, SLEEP) plus any anomalous database errors, given the elevated likelihood of exploitation.

Affected
Depicter Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter (WordPress plugin)All versions up to and including 3.6.1
Estimated exposure
large≈20,000–30,000 WordPress sites (plugin active installs are in the low tens of thousands) — Estimated from the plugin's publicly listed WordPress.org active-install count of roughly 20,000–30,000 sites, of which only those running versions ≤ 3.6.1 with the vulnerable 's' parameter reachable are exposed.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.

Description

The Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the ‘s' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
