CVE-2025-54678
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in hassantafreshi Easy Form Builder easy-form-builder allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Easy Form Builder: from n/a through <= 3.8.15.
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 confidenceA blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the hassantafreshi Easy Form Builder plugin (versions through 3.8.15) that allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized input parameters. The 'blind' classification indicates the application does not return SQL errors directly, but attackers can infer information through behavioral differences in application responses.

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.
-
Verify Easy Form Builder plugin is installedCheck for the plugin directory at wp-content/plugins/easy-form-builder or look for the plugin in WordPress admin under PluginsAffected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Determine installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin file (usually easy-form-builder.php) and read the Version header from the plugin comment block, or check via WordPress admin plugin listAffected if The version is 3.8.15 or lower (any version through 3.8.15 is affected)
-
Identify plugin entry points handling user inputLocate PHP files in the plugin directory that process $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters and interact with the database. Search for direct SQL queries without prepared statementsAffected if User-supplied input is passed to raw SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization
-
Review application behavior for blind SQL injection indicatorsSubmit crafted input to suspected vulnerable parameters (e.g., single quotes, boolean-based payloads like ' AND 1=1--). Compare response times and content differences between true and false conditionsAffected if Application responses vary based on injected boolean conditions without returning SQL error messages
-
Examine HTTP access logs for suspicious SQL-like patternsReview web server access logs (Apache/nginx) for requests containing SQL syntax (SELECT, UNION, --, /*, etc.) targeting Easy Form Builder endpointsAffected if Logs show SQL injection attempts against plugin parameters or unusual database-heavy request patterns
You are affected if the Easy Form Builder plugin is installed and the version is 3.8.15 or lower, with unsanitized user input being used in database queries.

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 to a patched version of Easy Form Builder if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions and deploy a WAF as an interim control. Conduct a comprehensive code review to identify and remediate all SQL injection entry points.
