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 gopiplus New Simple Gallery new-simple-gallery allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects New Simple Gallery: from n/a through <= 8.0.

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

The gopiplus New Simple Gallery WordPress plugin <= 8.0 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability. Attackers can inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user inputs processed by the plugin, potentially allowing exfiltration of sensitive database contents via boolean-based or time-based inference.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of New Simple Gallery; if no patch exists, remove the plugin immediately. Alternatively, implement WAF rules to block SQL injection attack patterns and disable the plugin until a secure version is available.

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 plugin is installed
    Check if the New Simple Gallery plugin exists in the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/simple-gallery) or search for 'gopiplus' in the plugins folder
    Affected if Plugin files are present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify installed version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (usually simple-gallery.php or similar) and locate the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block, or check the plugin admin page for the version number
    Affected if Version number is 8.0 or lower, or the version cannot be determined (unknown versions should be treated as affected)
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    Log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or query the wp_options table for option_name = 'active_plugins' to check if the plugin is enabled
    Affected if Plugin is active and processing requests
  4. Identify exposed input points
    Examine the plugin's shortcode (commonly [simple-gallery] or similar), widget, or any public-facing PHP files that process user-supplied parameters via GET or POST requests
    Affected if The plugin accepts user input through URL parameters, shortcode attributes, or form submissions without sanitization
  5. Review input handling code
    Search plugin PHP files for $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST usage without proper prepare() statements or sanitization functions, particularly in files handling gallery display or parameter processing
    Affected if Unsanitized user inputs are found in SQL query construction (missing $wpdb->prepare() or parameterized queries)
  6. Check for WAF or input filtering
    Inspect any existing WAF configurations, .htaccess rules, or application-level input filtering that may be blocking SQL injection patterns in requests to the plugin
    Affected if No WAF or input validation is actively filtering malicious SQL characters from plugin parameters

If the New Simple Gallery plugin is installed, active, at version 8.0 or lower, and exposes user input parameters without sanitization or WAF protection, the environment is likely affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

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

Upgrade to a patched version of New Simple Gallery; if no patch exists, remove the plugin immediately. Alternatively, implement WAF rules to block SQL injection attack patterns and disable the plugin until a secure version is available.
