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 PickPlugins Wishlist plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input in wishlist functionality. This could enable unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or modification.

MitigationUpgrade to latest version of PickPlugins Wishlist plugin and implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations handling user-supplied input.

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 PickPlugins Wishlist plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'PickPlugins Wishlist' in the list
    Affected if Plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Click 'View Details' on the PickPlugins Wishlist plugin in the WordPress plugins page to see the current version number
    Affected if Version is unknown or cannot be compared to a fixed release (no patched version listed in CVE)
  3. Locate wishlist-related PHP files handling user input
    In the plugin directory (wp-content/plugins/pickplugins-wishlist/), search for files containing wishlist functionality and user input handling (look for $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST parameters)
    Affected if Plugin processes user input without sanitization in wishlist-related code
  4. Inspect SQL queries in wishlist functionality
    Search plugin PHP files for direct SQL queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) that incorporate user input variables without using $wpdb->prepare() or parameterized queries
    Affected if SQL queries concatenate or interpolate user input directly without preparation
  5. Test wishlist endpoints for SQL injection susceptibility
    If you have access to the source, trace how wishlist parameters (e.g., wishlist ID, user ID, product ID) flow from HTTP requests to database queries; verify if any are used in raw SQL
    Affected if User-controlled parameters from wishlist requests reach SQL statements without sanitization

If the PickPlugins Wishlist plugin is installed and processes user input in wishlist functionality without using prepared statements or input sanitization, the environment is likely affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
