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 · unedited
The School Management System for Wordpress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter of the 'mj_smgt_show_event_task' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 92.0.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Custom-level access and above, 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 confidence

The WordPress School Management System plugin (versions up to 92.0.0) contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the 'mj_smgt_show_event_task' AJAX action. The 'id' parameter is not properly escaped before being used in a SQL query, and the query lacks prepared statements, allowing authenticated attackers with Custom-level access or higher to inject arbitrary SQL commands to extract sensitive data.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 92.0.0 when available. If no patched version exists, implement proper input sanitization and convert the vulnerable SQL query to use prepared statements.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify School Management System plugin is installed
    Locate the plugin in WordPress at wp-content/plugins/school-management-system/ or check via wp-admin > Plugins. Note the installed version from the plugin header.
    Affected if Plugin version is below 93.0.0 (versions up to and including 92.0.0 are affected)
  2. Confirm the vulnerable AJAX action exists
    Inspect plugin files for the function handling 'mj_smgt_show_event_task' AJAX action. Search plugin directory for the string 'mj_smgt_show_event_task' in PHP files.
    Affected if The AJAX action handler is present in the installed version
  3. Check if the id parameter lacks sanitization
    Review the code in the AJAX handler for the 'id' parameter. Look for absence of prepared statements, $wpdb->prepare(), or sanitization functions like intval() or sanitize_text_field() before using the 'id' in SQL queries.
    Affected if The 'id' parameter is used directly in SQL queries without $wpdb->prepare() or proper escaping
  4. Identify if Custom-level users exist
    In WordPress admin, go to Users section and check for users with 'Custom' role (a custom role created by this plugin). Alternatively, query wp_usermeta for the wp_capabilities key containing 'custom'.
    Affected if Any user account with Custom-level access exists on the site

User is affected if the School Management System plugin version is below 93.0.0, the vulnerable AJAX action is enabled, and at least one user with Custom-level access exists or can be obtained by an attacker.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 93.0.0 or later
Fixed in 93.0.0
Interim mitigation

Update the plugin to a version beyond 92.0.0 when available. If no patched version exists, implement proper input sanitization and convert the vulnerable SQL query to use prepared statements.

Recommended fix High confidence

93.0.0

  1. Log in to WordPress admin dashboard
  2. Navigate to Dashboard > Updates or Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. Locate the 'School Management System' plugin
  4. Click 'Update Now' to update to the latest version (93.0.0 or higher)
  5. Alternatively, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload and upload the version 93.0.0+ plugin package if auto-update is not available
  6. After updating, verify the plugin shows version 93.0.0 or later in the Plugins list
