CVE-2025-8977
Simple Download Monitor <= 3.9.33 - Simple Download Monitor <= 3.9.33 – Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection via order parameter in Log Export functionality
The Simple Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the order parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.33 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, and permissions granted by an Administrator, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
