Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2025-9172. PoCs published by jFriedli.

AI-analyzed exploit summary The repository contains a functional JavaScript-based proof-of-concept for a time-based SQL injection vulnerability in the `/vibes/v1/beacon` endpoint of WordPress. The exploit demonstrates unauthenticated SQL injection by injecting a `SLEEP(5)` payload into the `resource` parameter, resulting in a measurable delay.

Description

The Vibes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘resource’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
