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.
-
Check RSVPMaker plugin versionNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins > RSVPMaker. The version number is displayed below the plugin name.Affected if The installed version is 11.5.6 or lower.
-
Verify RSVPMaker is activeIn WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, check if RSVPMaker shows as 'Active' under the plugin status.Affected if RSVPMaker is active and the version is 11.5.6 or lower.
-
Review WordPress debug log for SQL errorsIf wp-config.php has WP_DEBUG set to true, check wp-content/debug.log for SQL syntax errors or warnings that may indicate SQL injection attempts.Affected if SQL error messages in logs reference RSVPMaker tables or queries with unexpected/unusual syntax.
-
Inspect server access logs for suspicious request parametersReview web server access logs (Apache/Nginx) for incoming requests to RSVPMaker endpoints (typically /?post_type=rsvpmaker or /?rsvpmaker=*) looking for SQL meta-characters in parameters such as quotes, UNION, SELECT, or boolean-based injection patterns.Affected if Requests to RSVPMaker contain SQL injection payloads in URL parameters.
-
Check for unauthorized database changesCompare current RSVPMaker database tables against expected schema. Look for new or unexpected tables, or modifications to existing tables that were not made by legitimate plugin updates.Affected if Unexpected tables or data exist in the database that may indicate successful SQL injection exploitation.
A user is affected if RSVPMaker version 11.5.6 or lower is installed and active, and unsanitized user input can reach SQL queries within the plugin.

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 RSVPMaker to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize user input before executing SQL commands.
