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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the plugin is installedCheck if the error-log-viewer-wp or wp-guru-error-log-viewer directory exists in wp-content/plugins/Affected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress plugins folder
-
Check the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually error-log-viewer-wp.php) and look for the Version header in the plugin comment block, or check the readme.txt file for the Version fieldAffected if The reported version is 1.0.5 or earlier (the summary indicates versions through 1.0.5 are affected)
-
Confirm the error log viewing feature is enabledCheck WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins to see if the error-log-viewer-wp plugin is activatedAffected if The plugin is active and the error log viewing functionality is accessible to users
-
Verify the vulnerability parameter is presentAccess the plugin functionality through its admin menu (typically under Tools or Settings) and identify if input parameters related to log filtering or viewing accept user input that could be used in SQL queriesAffected if The plugin accepts user-supplied input in parameters used for log filtering or pagination without visible sanitization
You are affected if the plugin is installed, the version is 1.0.5 or earlier, and the error log viewing feature with unsanitized input parameters is active and accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the Error Log Viewer plugin to the latest version which contains proper input sanitization using WordPress prepared statements ($wpdb->prepare()) or equivalent parameterized queries to neutralize SQL injection vectors.
