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 confidence

Happy Addons for Elementor plugin versions up to 3.20.4 contain a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL statements and potentially extract sensitive data from the database.

MitigationUpdate Happy Addons for Elementor to the latest patched version immediately. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Review user access controls and consider implementing additional WAF rules as a temporary measure.

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. Verify Happy Addons for Elementor is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory for the 'happy-addons-for-elementor' folder at wp-content/plugins/, or view the installed plugins list in WP Admin under Plugins
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed version
    Open the main plugin file (happy-addons-for-elementor.php) and locate the 'Version' header comment in the plugin file header, or check the version in WP Admin plugin list
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is readable
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to the known vulnerable range: versions 3.20.4 and below are affected; version 3.20.5 or later contains the fix
    Affected if Installed version is 3.20.4 or lower
  4. Check for exposure to unauthenticated requests
    Verify the WordPress site accepts unauthenticated requests (default behavior). The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication through unsanitized user input in plugin endpoints
    Affected if The site allows unauthenticated access to plugin functionality (default configuration)

If Happy Addons for Elementor is installed with version 3.20.4 or lower and the site accepts unauthenticated requests, the environment is likely affected by this blind SQL injection vulnerability.
