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 YayCommerce YayExtra plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user inputs in database queries. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL statements, potentially allowing data exfiltration or manipulation.

MitigationUpdate YayExtra to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Alternatively, implement input validation and use prepared statements for all database queries.

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 YayExtra plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for YayExtra by YayCommerce, or check the filesystem at /wp-content/plugins/ for a yayeextra or similar directory
    Affected if The plugin is not present in the environment
  2. Identify the installed YayExtra version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > YayExtra and view the version number displayed, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/[yayeextra-folder]/yayeextra.php for 'Version:' field
    Affected if The version number cannot be determined or is within an affected range that includes unpatched versions
  3. Check for unauthenticated SQL injection entry points
    Review web server access logs and WordPress debug logs for unusual SQL syntax, UNION SELECT statements, or common SQL injection patterns in requests to /wp-json/yayeextra/ endpoints or any AJAX actions related to the plugin
    Affected if Suspicious SQL patterns are found in request logs pointing to YayExtra functionality
  4. Inspect database for anomalous data access patterns
    Review MySQL/MariaDB slow query log and general log for queries originating from the web application user that contain unusual UNION clauses, subqueries, or attempts to access information_schema
    Affected if SQL queries from the application contain injected SQL syntax or unexpected database introspection attempts

The environment is affected if YayExtra is installed and running an unpatched version where user-supplied input reaches unsanitized database queries, or if exploitation indicators are found in logs or database activity.
