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 Solid Plugins AnalyticsWP allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized user input in database queries. The CVSS 9.3 indicates this is remotely exploitable without authentication and can lead to complete data compromise.

MitigationUpgrade AnalyticsWP to the latest version once available, or apply parameterized queries/escape functions to all database interactions that accept user-supplied input. Validate all input and implement least-privilege database accounts.

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 AnalyticsWP plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or plugin admin panel for AnalyticsWP by Solid Plugins
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Determine AnalyticsWP version
    Access the plugin admin page or inspect plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/analyticswp/ folder to find the installed version number
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is unknown (missing version info indicates unpatched state)
  3. Verify analytics feature is active
    Check WordPress admin > AnalyticsWP settings to confirm the analytics tracking feature is enabled
    Affected if Analytics tracking is enabled and collecting data
  4. Inspect database query handling
    Review plugin source files in /wp-content/plugins/analyticswp/ for direct database queries (wpdb->prepare, $wpdb->query, or similar) that incorporate user-supplied parameters without proper escaping
    Affected if Raw SQL queries with user input concatenation or interpolation are found in plugin code
  5. Check for unauthenticated access points
    Identify plugin AJAX handlers or public endpoints (look for add_action calls with 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' or 'init' hooks) that process user input
    Affected if Public/end-user accessible endpoints exist that accept and process input without authentication

If AnalyticsWP is installed, active, and processes user input through direct database queries without prepared statements or input sanitization, the environment is likely affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
