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
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in shinetheme Traveler Code traveler-code.This issue affects Traveler Code: from n/a through < 3.1.3.

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 shinetheme Traveler Code WordPress theme allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized user inputs. This affects all versions prior to 3.1.3.

MitigationUpgrade Traveler Code theme to version 3.1.3 or later which contains the security fix. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement input validation and parameterized queries as a temporary measure.

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 Traveler Code theme is installed
    Check your WordPress installation's wp-content/themes/ directory for a folder named 'traveler-code' or 'traveler', or view installed themes via WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes
    Affected if The traveler-code or traveler theme folder exists in the themes directory
  2. Identify the installed theme version
    Open the theme's style.css file located in the theme folder and look for the 'Version:' declaration in the file header comment, or check the theme metadata via WordPress admin theme details panel
    Affected if The version number found is lower than 3.1.3 (e.g., 3.1.2, 3.1.1, 3.0.x, etc.)
  3. Verify the theme is active
    In WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes and confirm the Traveler Code theme is currently activated (marked as 'Active' or currently displayed)
    Affected if The theme is activated and serving pages to users
  4. Check for unsanitized input parameters
    Examine HTTP requests to your site, particularly search, filter, or form submission parameters (common vectors for SQL injection in travel themes). Use web server logs or a web application firewall (WAF) to identify user-supplied parameters being passed to the database
    Affected if User-supplied input parameters are being processed by the theme without proper sanitization or parameterized queries

Your environment is affected if the Traveler Code (shinetheme Traveler) theme is installed, active, and running a version lower than 3.1.3.
