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.
-
Locate and identify Coven Core theme installationSearch the web server for theme files named 'coven-core', 'Coven-Core', or 'coven' typically found in wp-content/themes/ (WordPress) or similar theme directories. Look for a style.css or theme.json file containing the theme name 'Coven Core' by TeconceTheme.Affected if The Coven Core theme by TeconceTheme is installed on the server
-
Determine installed theme versionOpen the theme's style.css file (usually in the theme root directory) and locate the 'Version:' comment or check theme.json for a version field. Compare this version number against the affected range.Affected if Installed version is 1.3 or lower (1.0 through 1.3 are affected)
-
Identify vulnerable user input pointsSearch the theme PHP files for direct usage of superglobal variables ($_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST) in SQL queries without prepare() or parameterized queries. Focus on files in includes/ or widgets/ directories that handle user-submitted data.Affected if Code exists that passes unsanitized user input directly into SQL queries without prepared statements
-
Check for the specific blind SQL injection attack surfaceReview theme files that handle search parameters, filter options, ID lookups, or any endpoint accepting user-controlled values used in database queries. Common vulnerable patterns include: $_GET['id'], $_GET['s'], $_POST['search'], or similar parameters passed to WP_Query or direct $wpdb->get_results() calls.Affected if Any theme file accepts user input and uses it in database queries without sanitization or parameterization
A system is affected if the Coven Core theme version is 1.3 or lower and contains code that passes unsanitized user input directly into SQL 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 dataUpgrade Coven Core to version 1.4 or later. If no patch is available, disable the theme until an update is released and review code for parameterized queries.
