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 Stylemix uListing ulisting allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects uListing: from n/a through <= 2.1.6.

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

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Stylemix uListing WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.1.6). The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing authenticated or unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via vulnerable input parameters. Blind SQL injection means attackers infer information from application behavior differences rather than seeing direct output.

MitigationUpdate uListing to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, identify and sanitize all user-supplied input in SQL queries, implement prepared statements/parameterized queries, and consider temporarily disabling the plugin until a fix is released.

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 uListing plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'uListing' in the list, or inspect the plugin header file (typically in /wp-content/plugins/ulisting/) for the version comment
    Affected if uListing plugin is present on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed uListing version
    Read the version number from the plugin's main file (usually ulisting.php) header or from the Plugins page in WordPress admin
    Affected if Version is 2.1.6 or any earlier version (the vulnerability affects versions up to 2.1.6)
  3. Verify plugin is active
    Check the Plugins page in WordPress admin to confirm uListing is activated, or query the wp_options table for option_name='active_plugins'
    Affected if Plugin is active and handling requests
  4. Determine if public listing features are accessible
    Visit the site's frontend listing pages, search pages, or submission forms that use uListing functionality. Common endpoints include /ulisting/, /mylisting/, or custom shortcodes like [ulisting]
    Affected if Public-facing uListing pages accept user input and are accessible without authentication (the CVE notes unauthenticated attackers can exploit this)
  5. Inspect application logs for anomalous database patterns
    Review web server access logs and WordPress debug logs (if enabled) for unusual query patterns, excessive database errors, or repeated similar requests to uListing endpoints that may indicate injection testing
    Affected if Logs show repeated SQL syntax errors or unusual query patterns targeting uListing parameters

If uListing version 2.1.6 or lower is installed, active, and its features are publicly accessible, the environment is likely affected by this blind SQL injection vulnerability.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update uListing to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, identify and sanitize all user-supplied input in SQL queries, implement prepared statements/parameterized queries, and consider temporarily disabling the plugin until a fix is released.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest version > 2.1.6 (contact Stylemix support or check their official channels for the specific fixed release number)

  1. 1. Update the Stylemix uListing WordPress plugin to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository or Stylemix website.
  2. 2. After updating, verify that the plugin version is greater than 2.1.6.
  3. 3. Test critical user-facing functionality (listing creation, search, user submission forms) to ensure the update did not introduce regressions.
  4. 4. Review activity logs for any signs of exploitation attempts prior to the patch.
Caveat Minor or patch updates typically have no breaking changes; verify plugin compatibility with your WordPress version
