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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Listeo Core WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input in certain parameters. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.0.7 and could allow authenticated attackers to extract, modify, or delete database contents.

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.
-
Locate Listeo Core theme version fileCheck the style.css file in the theme directory (wp-content/themes/listeo-core/style.css) for the Version: header, or look for a version.php or info.json file in the theme folderAffected if The version listed is lower than 2.0.7 (e.g., 2.0.6, 2.0.5, etc.)
-
Identify database interaction pointsSearch theme files for direct database query patterns: WP_Query, $wpdb->prepare, $wpdb->query, or raw SQL SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements that may use user inputAffected if Direct SQL queries exist without parameterized queries or prepared statements
-
Inspect input handling in search and filter featuresReview PHP files handling search queries, listing filters, or form submissions (commonly in includes/ or template files) for $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST usage in SQL contextsAffected if User-supplied parameters from $_GET/$_POST are concatenated directly into SQL queries without sanitization
-
Check for input sanitization functionsLook for use of sanitize_text_field, prepare(), esc_sql(), or parameterized queries in files handling user inputAffected if No sanitization functions are found before database queries using user input
You are affected if Listeo Core theme version is below 2.0.7 and unsanitized user input flows into SQL queries in the theme.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Listeo Core plugin to version 2.0.7 or later to patch the SQL injection vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict admin-level access and monitor for suspicious database queries.
Listeo Core version 2.0.7 or later
- Backup your WordPress site database and files before making any changes
- Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Find 'Listeo Core' in the plugin list
- Click 'Update now' if an update is available, or manually upload version 2.0.7 or later
- After updating, verify the plugin version shows 2.0.7 or higher
- Test critical user workflows (search, listings, bookings) to ensure functionality
