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 themepassion Ultra Portfolio ultra-portfolio allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Ultra Portfolio: from n/a through <= 6.7.

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

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in themepassion Ultra Portfolio plugin (versions up to 6.7). User-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL commands. The 'blind' classification means the attacker infers database information through behavioral differences (e.g., response time differences) rather than seeing direct database output.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Ultra Portfolio that properly sanitizes and parameterizes all SQL queries. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Additionally, implement WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts as a temporary protective 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. Locate the Ultra Portfolio version
    Access your WordPress admin panel and navigate to Appearance > Themes (for theme) or Plugins > Installed Plugins (for plugin) to find the installed version of Ultra Portfolio. Alternatively, check the main plugin/theme file header for a 'Version:' comment, or query the WordPress options table for the theme/plugin version setting.
    Affected if The displayed version number is 6.7 or lower (any version up to and including 6.7 is vulnerable)
  2. Verify the installation is active
    Confirm that Ultra Portfolio is currently activated on your WordPress site. Check if the theme is applied or the plugin is enabled with active status.
    Affected if The plugin/theme is activated and accessible to users
  3. Identify exposed input parameters
    Review your web application for any user-facing forms, search fields, URL parameters, or API endpoints that accept input and are handled by Ultra Portfolio. Common vectors include portfolio search, filter options, category selection, or ID parameters in URLs.
    Affected if User-supplied input can be passed to Ultra Portfolio components without sanitization
  4. Check for SQL interaction points
    Examine the Ultra Portfolio code for direct SQL query execution, particularly looking for database calls that incorporate user variables without prepared statements. Focus on files handling portfolio display, filtering, or search functionality.
    Affected if SQL queries reference request parameters (GET/POST) directly without parameterization

You are affected if Ultra Portfolio version 6.7 or lower is installed and active, with user input reaching SQL query execution paths within the theme/plugin.

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

Upgrade to a patched version of Ultra Portfolio that properly sanitizes and parameterizes all SQL queries. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Additionally, implement WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts as a temporary protective measure.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest available version of Ultra Portfolio (plugin repository)

  1. Update Ultra Portfolio plugin to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository
  2. If automatic updates are enabled, verify the update has been applied
  3. Confirm the new version is running by checking the plugin version in WordPress admin > Plugins
  4. Review site for any unusual behavior post-update
  5. Ensure regular security audits are scheduled for WordPress installations
