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.

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 WP Travel plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find WP Travel, then check the version number listed. Alternatively, inspect the plugin's main PHP file or readme.txt in wp-content/plugins/wp-travel/
    Affected if Plugin version cannot be determined or is not installed
  2. Compare installed version to affected range
    Compare the installed version number against the affected range: any version through 10.1.3 (e.g., 10.1.3, 10.1.2, 10.0.0, 9.9.0, etc.)
    Affected if Installed version is 10.1.3 or lower
  3. Identify active plugin files
    Verify the wp-travel plugin directory exists in wp-content/plugins/ and contains active PHP files for the plugin
    Affected if Plugin files are missing or corrupted

User is affected if WP Travel plugin is installed with any version through 10.1.3, since the SQL injection flaw exists in all those versions due to unsanitized user input in database queries.
