CVE-2025-7442
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe WPGYM - Wordpress Gym Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via several parameters in the MJ_gmgt_delete_class_limit_for_member, MJ_gmgt_get_yearly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_get_monthly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_add_class_limit, MJ_gmgt_view_meeting_detail, and MJ_gmgt_create_meeting functions in all versions up to 67.8.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe WPGYM plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection in six different functions (MJ_gmgt_delete_class_limit_for_member, MJ_gmgt_get_yearly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_get_monthly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_add_class_limit, MJ_gmgt_view_meeting_detail, and MJ_gmgt_create_meeting) due to insufficient user input escaping and lack of prepared SQL statements, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if WPGYM plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Gym Management' or 'WPGYM' in the list. Alternatively, check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'gym-management' or similar.Affected if The plugin is installed and active
-
Get the installed WPGYM version numberIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find the Gym Management plugin, and note the version number displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (e.g., gym-management/gym-management.php) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments.Affected if The version is lower than 67.8.1 or the version number cannot be determined (older unversioned releases)
-
Verify vulnerable functions exist in the plugin codeAccess the WordPress site files via FTP or file manager. In the plugin directory (wp-content/plugins/gym-management/), search for the function names: MJ_gmgt_delete_class_limit_for_member, MJ_gmgt_get_yearly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_get_monthly_income_expense, MJ_gmgt_add_class_limit, MJ_gmgt_view_meeting_detail, and MJ_gmgt_create_meeting. Use grep or search through PHP files.Affected if Any of these six functions exist in the plugin code (they are vulnerable versions)
-
Check if AJAX actions are accessible to unauthenticated usersIn the plugin main file, look for add_action('wp_ajax_...') and add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_...') calls. If wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks are registered for any of the vulnerable functions, they are accessible without authentication.Affected if The vulnerable functions are hooked to wp_ajax_nopriv_ actions, making them exploitable without authentication
You are affected if the WPGYM plugin is installed with a version lower than 67.8.1 and the vulnerable SQL injection functions are present and accessible to unauthenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate to version 67.8.1 or later if available; otherwise, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Consider implementing Web Application Firewall rules as a temporary mitigation.
