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

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 iDo8p WPMU Prefill Post WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input in database queries, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.

MitigationUpgrade to the latest version of WPMU Prefill Post. If no patch is available, review and sanitize all database query inputs using $wpdb->prepare() or equivalent prepared statement functions, and implement input validation on all 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. Locate the WPMU Prefill Post plugin installation
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'wpmu-prefill-post', 'ido8p-wpmu-prefill-post', or similar variant containing 'prefill post' in the name
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the plugins directory
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (usually named similar to the folder) and locate the plugin header comment containing 'Version:' or check the WordPress admin Plugins page for the installed version number
    Affected if A version number is displayed in the plugin header or admin interface
  3. Determine if the plugin is active
    Check the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins to see if WPMU Prefill Post or iDo8p Prefill Post is currently activated
    Affected if The plugin shows as Active in the WordPress admin panel
  4. Inspect for unsanitized database queries
    Examine the plugin's PHP files for direct $wpdb->query(), $wpdb->get_results(), or similar calls that use user-supplied parameters without $wpdb->prepare() or equivalent escaping
    Affected if Direct SQL queries reference $_POST, $_GET, or $_REQUEST variables without using prepare() statements or input sanitization
  5. Review input-handling functions
    Search plugin PHP files for functions that process user input (search parameters, form submissions, URL parameters) and trace whether these values flow into database queries without sanitization
    Affected if User-supplied parameters from forms or URLs are used directly in SQL queries without prepare() or escaping functions

A user is affected if the WPMU Prefill Post plugin is installed and active with any version that contains unsanitized user input in database query code paths.
