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 Ruben Garcia GamiPress gamipress allows SQL Injection.This issue affects GamiPress: from n/a through <= 7.4.5.

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 GamiPress WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 7.4.5 and stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL queries.

MitigationUpdate GamiPress to the latest patched version beyond 7.4.5. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation at the application layer and review all database query paths for parameterized query usage.

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. Verify GamiPress plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory for the gamipress folder: look in wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named gamipress, or log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins to confirm GamiPress appears in the list.
    Affected if The gamipress folder exists in wp-content/plugins/ or GamiPress appears in the WordPress admin plugins list.
  2. Identify the installed GamiPress version
    Access the WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find GamiPress, and note the version number displayed beneath the plugin name. Alternatively, open the main plugin file (wp-content/plugins/gamipress/gamipress.php) and locate the 'Version' header in the file comments.
    Affected if The version displayed is 7.4.5 or any version lower than 7.4.5.
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    In WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify that GamiPress shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive'. The vulnerability is only exploitable when the plugin is actively loaded.
    Affected if GamiPress is activated and running on the WordPress site.
  4. Determine if custom query hooks exist
    Review any custom code, themes, or companion plugins that may interact with GamiPress database tables (prefixed with gamipress_). Check for custom hooks or callbacks that pass user-supplied input directly to WP_Query or $wpdb methods without prepare() or sanitization.
    Affected if Custom code passes $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters directly into GamiPress SQL queries without parameterized queries.

You are affected if GamiPress is installed, active, and running version 7.4.5 or lower, especially if custom code or user-facing features accept input that flows to database queries.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update GamiPress to the latest patched version beyond 7.4.5. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation at the application layer and review all database query paths for parameterized query usage.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

GamiPress 7.4.6 or latest stable release

  1. 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard where GamiPress is installed.
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
  3. 3. Locate the GamiPress plugin in the list.
  4. 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to update GamiPress to the latest version.
  5. 5. After updating, verify the plugin is running on version 7.4.6 or later.
  6. 6. Test critical GamiPress functionality (points, achievements, ranks) to ensure the update did not break existing functionality.
Caveat Minor: Verify custom code or integrations with GamiPress hooks still function after upgrade, as with any plugin update
