Miraculous Theme SQL Injection Vulnerability

CVE advisorySeverity: CRITICAL (CVSS 9.3)

CVE-2025-58628

This vulnerability affects a WordPress theme, which is a component typically used to render public-facing websites. Because the affected software functions as a web application platform, it is commonly deployed as an internet-facing service accessible to the public.

SQL Injection

Halo Surface Signal: 4 out of 5 — likely to be public-facing.

External exposure likelihood

Horizon Alert

Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Miraculous theme, which could allow unauthorized access to or manipulation of backend data if exploited. The main concern is confirming if this theme is in use and therefore exposed.

It's a data access weakness in a WordPress theme.
Critical risk to data if the theme is deployed.
Confirm relevance to verify potential exposure.

Attack Path

How an attacker could exploit the issue

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted data to a web application using the affected theme. This could occur over the internet without any authentication. The application would then process this data, leading to a blind SQL injection. This means the attacker can infer information from the database without seeing direct output, potentially leading to unintended data access or modification.

No authentication required.
Vulnerable SQL command processing.
Potential for unauthorized data access.

Live Threat

Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to manipulate database queries through specially crafted input, potentially exposing sensitive information stored within the database or causing disruptions to service behavior. These actions could occur when an attacker interacts with features that process user-supplied data without proper sanitization.

Database information could be exposed.
Malicious input could be submitted.
Service disruption or data leakage.

Operational Fix

Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps

This SQL Injection vulnerability in the Miraculous theme requires immediate attention from teams managing public-facing web applications. The first step is to identify all instances of the affected theme, determine their business criticality and external reachability, and then locate the responsible application owner to plan remediation within an appropriate maintenance window.

Application owners should manage this issue.
Verify external exposure and business criticality first.
Plan remediation with vendor coordination.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Miraculous theme?

Miraculous is a WordPress theme designed to help users build and style web pages. WordPress themes act as the design layer of a site, controlling how content appears to visitors. Because it is a WordPress component, it resides on web servers to render site layouts, manage user-supplied data inputs, and interact with the site's underlying database.

What does SQL injection mean for CVE-2025-58628?

This CVE falls under the weakness class CWE-89, which occurs when software fails to properly clean user input before including it in a database query. In this specific case, it is a blind SQL injection, meaning an attacker can send malicious commands to the database and infer information based on how the application responds, even if the database does not return the data directly on the screen.

How does an attacker trigger this vulnerability?

An attacker triggers this flaw by sending specially crafted, malicious input to a web application running the affected Miraculous theme. The issue arises when the theme processes this input without adequate sanitization. This vulnerability is not triggered by standard site traffic or normal administrative actions, but rather through specific requests designed to manipulate backend database queries.

Is my site at risk according to Halo Surface Signal?

Halo Surface Signal flags this as a likely concern because the Miraculous theme is a component used for public-facing websites. Since the theme is intended to render pages for internet users, it is frequently deployed in environments reachable from the public internet, which increases the possibility of an attacker reaching the vulnerable input processing functions.

What is the first step to address CVE-2025-58628?

Begin by auditing your environment to locate all instances where the Miraculous theme is currently installed and active. Once identified, assess the business criticality of those specific websites. Coordinate with your application owners to prioritize these assets for remediation, focusing first on those that are accessible to the public internet.
