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 RomanCode MapSVG mapsvg allows SQL Injection.This issue affects MapSVG: from n/a through < 8.7.4.

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 · high confidence

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the MapSVG plugin where user-supplied input is not properly neutralized before being used in SQL queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or complete system compromise. The critical CVSS score of 9.3 suggests the exploit is easily executable and has severe impact.

MitigationUpgrade MapSVG to version 8.7.4 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and parameterization of database queries as an interim measure. Review all database interactions in the plugin for similar injection 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. Locate the MapSVG plugin and determine its installed version
    Check your WordPress or CMS plugin directory for the mapsvg plugin folder. Look for a version file, readme.txt, or plugin header that contains the version number. In WordPress, you can also query the wp_options table for the active_plugins entry or check the plugin file directly.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 8.7.4 (e.g., 8.7.3, 8.7.0, earlier versions).
  2. Confirm the plugin is active and accessible
    Verify the MapSVG plugin is enabled in your CMS. Check if the plugin frontend endpoints or admin interface are reachable. SQL injection requires the vulnerable code path to be executable, so confirm the plugin handles user requests.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active, handling requests that could reach the vulnerable database query code.
  3. Identify input vectors that reach database queries
    Review your web server logs or proxy logs for requests to MapSVG endpoints (typically /?mapsvg= or similar URL patterns). Check which parameters are passed to the plugin, particularly any that accept user-supplied values used in SQL queries without parameterization.
    Affected if User-controllable parameters are passed to MapSVG functionality without sanitization before database operations.

You are affected if the MapSVG plugin version is below 8.7.4 and the plugin is active, meaning SQL injection is possible through unsanitized user input reaching database queries.

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

Upgrade MapSVG to version 8.7.4 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and parameterization of database queries as an interim measure. Review all database interactions in the plugin for similar injection points.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

MapSVG version 8.7.4 or later

  1. 1. Back up your WordPress site and database before making any changes
  2. 2. Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins
  3. 3. Find the MapSVG plugin and update it to version 8.7.4 or later
  4. 4. Verify the update was successfully applied by checking the plugin version
  5. 5. Test that the MapSVG functionality works correctly after the update
