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 · high confidence

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the WP Lead Capturing Pages WordPress plugin (leadcapture). The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unsanitized input parameters, potentially enabling data exfiltration or database compromise.

MitigationUpgrade WP Lead Capturing Pages to version 2.6 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin until patched. Additionally, implement WAF rules as a defense-in-depth measure and audit the database for any signs of compromise.

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 WP Lead Capturing Pages plugin is installed
    Check for the existence of the leadcapture plugin directory in wp-content/plugins/ or query the WordPress database: SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins' LIKE '%leadcapture%';
    Affected if Plugin directory or active plugin entry exists
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Read the plugin main file header (e.g., wp-content/plugins/leadcapture/lead-capturing-pages.php) to find the 'Version:' field, or query: SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'plugin_version' AND post_id IN (SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'leadcapture');
    Affected if Unable to determine version or version field is missing
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to the affected range: versions prior to 2.6. Example: if version is 2.5.x or earlier, the installation is vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 2.6 (e.g., 2.5.1, 2.4.0, 1.x)

The environment is affected if the WP Lead Capturing Pages plugin is installed with a version number lower than 2.6, as this version introduced the fix for the unsanitized input SQL injection vulnerability.
