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 Tour Master - Tour Booking, Travel, Hotel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘review_id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.7 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 Subscriber-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 Tour Master WordPress plugin (versions up to 5.3.7) contains a time-based SQL injection vulnerability in the 'review_id' parameter. The flaw stems from insufficient input sanitization and lack of prepared statements in the SQL query handling, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary SQL commands. As a time-based (blind) SQLi, attackers infer database information through conditional time delays.

MitigationUpgrade to version 5.3.8 or later, which implements proper SQL escaping and prepared statements for the review_id parameter. Until patched, disable the plugin or restrict user registration to prevent exploitation.

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. Confirm Tour Master plugin is installed
    Check WordPress plugins directory or wp-admin plugins list for 'Tour Master' or 'Goodlayers Tour Master'
    Affected if Tour Master plugin is found installed on the WordPress site
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    View plugin details in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the plugin main file header for version number
    Affected if Installed version is less than 5.3.8 (versions 5.3.7 and below are affected)
  3. Verify subscriber-level user accounts exist
    Check WordPress user roles under Users menu for any accounts with Subscriber role
    Affected if At least one user with Subscriber role exists on the site
  4. Confirm review functionality is accessible
    Inspect if the review submission or viewing feature using the 'review_id' parameter is accessible on the frontend
    Affected if The review feature that accepts review_id parameter is active and accessible to authenticated users

The site is affected if Tour Master plugin version is below 5.3.8, the site has subscriber-level users, and the review functionality using review_id is accessible.
