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 WPFable Fable Extra fable-extra allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Fable Extra: from n/a through <= 1.0.6.

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

A blind SQL injection vulnerability in WPFable Fable Extra (version <= 1.0.6) allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized input parameters. The 'blind' classification indicates the application does not return direct SQL query output but allows inference through behavioral differences, enabling data exfiltration or database compromise.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Fable Extra and refactor all database queries to use parameterized queries or an ORM with proper input sanitization. Conduct a comprehensive code review to identify and remediate all SQL injection entry points.

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. Identify Fable Extra installation
    Locate the Fable Extra package or application in your environment and determine its installed version number. Common methods include checking package.json, assembly info, or the application's about/version dialog.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.6 or lower, indicating the vulnerable version range.
  2. Confirm database connectivity
    Inspect whether the application has an active database connection or uses any database functionality. Check configuration files or runtime settings for database connection strings.
    Affected if The application connects to a database, which is required for SQL injection to be exploitable.
  3. Locate SQL query implementations
    Review the application codebase for direct SQL query execution patterns, such as string concatenation or unsanitized string interpolation being used in database queries.
    Affected if Raw SQL queries exist that accept user input without parameterized query handling or ORM usage.
  4. Inspect input handling mechanisms
    Examine how user-supplied parameters are processed before being passed to database queries. Look for lack of input validation, sanitization, or use of parameterized queries.
    Affected if User input flows directly into SQL queries without prepared statements, stored procedures, or ORM parameter binding.

Your environment is affected if Fable Extra version 1.0.6 or lower is installed and the application uses database functionality with SQL queries that accept unsanitized user input.
