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 Shahjahan Jewel Ninja Tables ninja-tables allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Ninja Tables: from n/a through <= 5.2.4.

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 the Ninja Tables WordPress plugin (versions <= 5.2.4). The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through insufficiently sanitized user input in the ninja-tables functionality. Blind SQL injection means the attacker cannot directly see query results but can infer information through behavioral differences (e.g., time delays or true/false conditions).

MitigationUpgrade to the latest version of Ninja Tables immediately. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. For interim risk reduction, implement web application firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in plugin-related request parameters.

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 Ninja Tables plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for the ninja-tables folder, or view the installed plugins list in the WordPress admin under Plugins
    Affected if The ninja-tables folder exists in the plugins directory or the plugin appears in the WordPress plugin list
  2. Determine the installed version of Ninja Tables
    Open the main plugin file (ninja-tables/ninja-tables.php) and locate the version comment/constant at the top, or check the plugin details in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The version number displayed is 5.2.4 or lower
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    Check the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins to see if Ninja Tables shows as 'Active'
    Affected if The plugin status is Active (inactive plugins cannot be exploited)
  4. Identify if the vulnerable SQL endpoint is accessible
    Review server access logs for POST/GET requests to Ninja Tables AJAX endpoints (typically /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action=ninja_tables_) that contain user-supplied parameters passed to database queries
    Affected if Requests targeting ninja_tables AJAX actions are logged and contain varying parameter values that could indicate injection testing

You are affected if Ninja Tables plugin is installed, active, and running version 5.2.4 or lower, with the vulnerable SQL-handling endpoint accessible to attackers.

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

Upgrade to the latest version of Ninja Tables immediately. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. For interim risk reduction, implement web application firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in plugin-related request parameters.
