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 themesuite Automotive Listings automotive allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Automotive Listings: from n/a through <= 18.6.

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 blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in themesuite Automotive Listings automotive plugin/theme up to version 18.6. The vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input in the automotive listings functionality, potentially enabling extraction of sensitive database contents or complete database compromise.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations and conduct comprehensive code audit to identify and remediate all injection points; apply WAF rules as interim mitigation.

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. Identify the installed version of Automotive Listings
    Check the plugin/theme version in the admin dashboard under Plugins > Automotive Listings, or inspect the main plugin file (commonly automotive-listings.php or similar) for a version constant/header comment
    Affected if The installed version is 18.6 or any earlier version
  2. Confirm the automotive listings functionality is active
    Navigate to the WordPress admin Plugins page or check the active theme functions.php to verify the Automotive Listings plugin/theme is installed and enabled
    Affected if The plugin/theme is installed and active
  3. Locate the listings submission/search endpoint
    Identify PHP files handling automotive listing queries (commonly in includes/ or templates/ directories within the plugin). Search for parameters related to listing IDs, vehicle searches, or filter operations that process user-supplied data
    Affected if The plugin handles user input through query parameters in listing-related functionality
  4. Determine if the endpoint accepts external unauthenticated requests
    Review the plugin's PHP files for hooks like 'init', 'wp_ajax_nopriv', or template files that process GET/POST requests without requiring authentication. Test by sending a crafted request to suspected endpoints without authentication cookies
    Affected if The listing functionality processes requests from unauthenticated users without requiring login

Your environment is affected if Automotive Listings version 18.6 or earlier is installed, the plugin/theme is active, and the automotive listings feature with its vulnerable SQL-handling endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users
