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 Pinterest Automatic Pin WordPress plugin (wp-pinterest-automatic) versions before 4.19.0 allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through improperly sanitized user input, potentially enabling unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or manipulation.

MitigationUpgrade to version 4.19.0 or later to obtain the vendor patch. As a defense-in-depth measure, review and sanitize all database queries within the plugin to use parameterized queries or prepared statements.

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. Check the installed version of the Pinterest Automatic Pin plugin
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'Pinterest Automatic Pin' (wp-pinterest-automatic), and note the version number displayed. Alternatively, check the plugin's main PHP file header or the plugins.php file in wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if The displayed version is any version before 4.19.0 (e.g., 4.18.x, 4.17.x, earlier versions)
  2. Verify the plugin is actively installed
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, confirm that Pinterest Automatic Pin shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive' or 'Not Installed'
    Affected if The plugin is installed and activated in the WordPress environment
  3. Identify if the plugin handles user-generated board or pin data
    Access the plugin settings at Pinterest Automatic > Add New Boards or any settings page where board names, descriptions, or pin content can be entered. Check if these fields accept user input without visible sanitization indicators
    Affected if The plugin settings pages are accessible and accept user input for board names, pin descriptions, or similar fields that feed into database queries
  4. Review WordPress error logs for SQL-related errors
    Check wp-content/debug.log (if debug logging is enabled) or the server's PHP error logs for any SQL syntax errors, warnings, or unusual database errors occurring around plugin functionality
    Affected if SQL errors or warnings appear in logs that reference the wp-pinterest-automatic plugin or its database tables
  5. Check plugin database tables for unexpected modifications
    Use a database management tool (phpMyAdmin, command line) to inspect tables prefixed with wp_pinterest_automatic_ for any suspicious entries, unusual table structures, or unexpected data that may indicate exploitation
    Affected if Tables contain unexpected data, additional tables exist, or table structures have been altered without intentional admin action

A user is affected if the Pinterest Automatic Pin plugin version is below 4.19.0 and the plugin is active in the WordPress installation.
