CVE-2025-6970 affects the WordPress plugin "Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!" in all versions up to and including 7.0.3. The vulnerability is a time-based SQL injection in the user-controlled orderby parameter. According to the provided description, the issue is caused by insufficient escaping of attacker-supplied input and inadequate preparation of the resulting SQL query. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL syntax into an existing query path and influence backend database operations, including using time-based techniques to infer data from the database.

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
orderby parameter where feasible, deploying a WAF or virtual patch to block malicious orderby values and SQLi payload patterns, and monitoring web and database logs for anomalous requests indicative of time-based SQL injection. As a defensive coding measure, only permit known-safe column names for ordering rather than passing raw user input into SQL clauses.Patch, then assume compromise.
orderby parameter, escaping input appropriately, and using parameterized/prepared queries wherever user input influences SQL construction.No valid public exploits. Mallory filtered out 1 candidate as fakes, detection scripts, or README-only repos.
