What is CVE-2025-13138?

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows SQL Injection through the 'columns_search' parameter in the select_2_ajax() function. This issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied input, combined with insufficient preparation of the SQL query. As a consequence, unauthenticated attackers may manipulate the database by appending harmful SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information. Users should take immediate action to secure their installations with the latest updates to prevent exploitation.
