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.

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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the ARPrice WordPress plugin allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input, potentially enabling unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or manipulation.

MitigationApply vendor patch when available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions and add proper input validation/sanitization on user-supplied parameters.

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 ARPrice plugin is installed
    Check for the presence of the ARPrice plugin in the WordPress installation: look for the /wp-content/plugins/arprice/ directory, or access the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins to confirm ARPrice is listed.
    Affected if ARPrice plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed ARPrice version
    Access the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and locate ARPrice in the list. The version number is displayed next to the plugin name. Alternatively, open the main plugin file (arprice.php) in the /wp-content/plugins/arprice/ directory and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.
    Affected if the version cannot be determined or the plugin file is not found
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to 4.1.3. The affected range includes all versions up to and including 4.1.3. Any version 4.1.3 or lower is within the affected range.
    Affected if installed version is 4.1.3 or lower (for example, 4.1.3, 4.1.2, 4.0.5, 3.9.1, etc.)

If ARPrice plugin is installed AND the version is 4.1.3 or lower, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
