Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This CVE affects the WordPress Behance Portfolio Manager plugin. A logged-in user could trigger SQL injection, potentially exposing sensitive database data and causing limited availability impact. The provided sources do not confirm active exploitation or a fixed version.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority for affected WordPress properties, especially public sites with subscriber or contributor accounts. Prioritize inventory and plugin remediation because the expected business risk is database confidentiality exposure.
Technical view
CVE-2025-31526 is CWE-89 SQL injection in eleopard Behance Portfolio Manager, package portfolio-manager-powered-by-behance, reported for versions through 1.7.5. CVSS 3.1 is 8.5: network attack, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, changed scope, high confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, low availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running Behance Portfolio Manager through version 1.7.5. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account, not anonymous access.
Exploitation context
The source bundle marks CISA KEV as false, and no cited source claims active exploitation. Public evidence confirms a vulnerability entry and CVE record, but exploit availability, affected code path, and fixed-version status are not established here.
Researcher notes
The provided data has a version inconsistency: the CVE description says through 1.7.5, while the Patchstack reference title mentions 1.7.4. Use the broader CVE-stated range unless vendor guidance narrows it.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for portfolio-manager-powered-by-behance versions through 1.7.5.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Disable or remove the plugin if no supported fix is available.
- Limit low-privilege account creation and access until remediation is complete.
- Monitor database and web logs for abnormal errors or suspicious authenticated activity.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Behance Portfolio Manager is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record installed plugin version and compare it to the affected range through 1.7.5.
- Review whether untrusted users can authenticate to affected WordPress sites.
- Check CISA KEV and vendor advisories for any status changes.
- Use authorized, non-destructive vulnerability scanning where appropriate.
