CVE-2025-5017
Last modified
CVE-2025-5017 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.9/10 on the CVSS scale. The Catalyst Connect Zoho CRM Client Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘uid’ 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 authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
