What is CVE-2024-12025?

The Collapsing Categories plugin for WordPress contains a critical SQL Injection vulnerability due to insufficient input validation on the 'taxonomy' parameter in the /wp-json/collapsing-categories/v1/get REST API endpoint. Versions up to and including 3.0.8 are affected, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate SQL queries. This flaw can potentially expose sensitive data from the database by appending malicious SQL instructions to the existing queries, thus compromising the integrity and confidentiality of user information. It is essential for users to update to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.
