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 manu225 Falling things falling-things allows SQL Injection.This issue affects Falling things: from n/a through <= 1.08.

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 Falling things WordPress plugin (version <=1.08) by developer manu225 allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized input in database queries.

MitigationUpdate to a patched version if available; otherwise, disable the plugin until a fix can be implemented. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to neutralize SQL injection vectors.

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. Locate the Falling things plugin
    Check your WordPress installation's wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'falling-things' or similar. Also check via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins.
    Affected if The Falling things plugin is found in the plugins directory and appears in the WordPress admin plugins list.
  2. Identify the plugin version
    Open the plugin's main PHP file (often falling-things.php or similar in the plugin folder) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block at the top. Alternatively, check the readme.txt file for the Version tag.
    Affected if The reported version is 1.08 or lower.
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    In the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and confirm whether the Falling things plugin has an 'Active' status under the plugin name.
    Affected if The plugin is currently activated in WordPress.
  4. Check for vulnerable database query patterns
    Review the plugin's PHP source code, focusing on any file that constructs SQL queries. Look for direct concatenation of user-supplied input (such as $_POST, $_GET, or $_REQUEST variables) into SQL strings without using $wpdb->prepare() or parameterized queries.
    Affected if Unsanitized SQL queries that incorporate request parameters are found in the plugin code.

Your environment is affected if the Falling things plugin version 1.08 or lower is installed and active, with unsanitized SQL queries present in the code.
