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 wpdistillery Navigation Tree Elementor navigation-tree-elementor allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Navigation Tree Elementor: from n/a through <= 1.0.1.

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

Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in wpdistillery Navigation Tree Elementor plugin (versions <=1.0.1) allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized input parameters, potentially enabling unauthorized data exfiltration or database manipulation.

MitigationUpdate Navigation Tree Elementor plugin to the latest patched version; if unavailable, disable the plugin and implement WAF rules to block SQL injection attack patterns 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. Verify Navigation Tree Elementor plugin is installed
    Access WordPress plugins directory or wp-admin, or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ directory for 'navigation-tree-elementor' or 'wpdistillery-navigation-tree-elementor' folder
    Affected if Plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Check plugin header in main PHP file (usually in the plugin folder) for 'Version:' comment, or view in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if Version is 1.0.1 or lower (any version up to and including 1.0.1)
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    Check WordPress database in wp_options table for option_name containing 'active_plugins', or view in WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if Plugin is enabled in the active_plugins list
  4. Identify exposed input parameters
    Review plugin source code for PHP files handling user input (GET/POST parameters) and check if SQL queries use these inputs without sanitization (look for $wpdb->prepare, esc_sql, or parameterized queries missing)
    Affected if Plugin processes unsanitized user input in SQL queries (any parameter accepted from frontend)
  5. Review access logs for SQL injection patterns
    Search web server access logs (Apache/Nginx) for requests to the plugin's PHP handlers containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, FROM, WHERE) or common injection payloads in query strings
    Affected if Requests to plugin endpoints contain suspicious SQL syntax in parameters

If the Navigation Tree Elementor plugin is installed, active, and running version 1.0.1 or lower, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
