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.
-
Verify the installed WebinarIgnition versionAccess the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins, and locate WebinarIgnition (or Saleswonder Webinarignition) to view the installed version number. Alternatively, inspect the plugin's main PHP file header for the 'Version' tag.Affected if The installed version is 3.05.0 or any earlier version (e.g., 3.04.x, 3.03.x, etc.). Versions prior to the latest patched release are considered affected.
-
Identify plugin entry points handling user inputReview the plugin's PHP files for code that processes request parameters (such as $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST) and constructs database queries without using prepared statements or proper escaping.Affected if Code is found that passes user-supplied input directly into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization.
-
Locate vulnerable database query codeSearch the plugin directory for SQL query construction patterns, particularly look for direct concatenation of variables into queries using $wpdb->prepare without proper placeholders, or queries using $wpdb->query/->get_results with string interpolation.Affected if Direct SQL query construction is found where user input variables are concatenated or interpolated into the query string.
-
Check for unauthenticated access pointsExamine plugin files for AJAX handlers or direct page accesses that do not include authentication or capability checks, particularly those processing form submissions or URL parameters.Affected if The plugin exposes functionality that processes SQL-relevant user input without requiring authentication.
If the installed WebinarIgnition version is 3.05.0 or lower and the plugin processes user-supplied input into SQL queries without prepared statements, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

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 the latest patched version of WebinarIgnition if available. Otherwise, audit all database queries to implement prepared statements/parameterized queries and proper input sanitization.
