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

SQL injection vulnerability in the Lisfinity Core WordPress plugin allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unsanitized user inputs. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.5.0, enabling potential unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or manipulation.

MitigationUpdate to the latest patched version of Lisfinity Core. If no patch is available, implement input validation and use prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database interactions.

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. Check Lisfinity Core plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins > Lisfinity Core and read the version number displayed, or inspect the plugin main file (e.g., lisfinity-core.php) for the 'Version' header comment
    Affected if The displayed version is 1.5.0 or lower
  2. Confirm plugin is active
    Verify the Lisfinity Core plugin is activated in WordPress admin > Plugins
    Affected if The plugin shows as 'Active' status
  3. Identify SQL input handlers
    Search plugin directory for SQL query functions (wpdb->prepare, $wpdb->query, $wpdb->get_results, etc.) that accept user-supplied parameters without proper escaping or prepared statements
    Affected if Any database queries process user input directly without using $wpdb->prepare() or parameterized queries
  4. Check for unsanitized GET/POST parameters
    Review PHP files in the plugin for direct use of $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST in SQL queries without sanitization functions like esc_sql() or intval()
    Affected if User-supplied parameters from $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST are directly inserted into SQL queries
  5. Verify public-facing query endpoints
    Inspect AJAX handlers and front-end PHP files for SQL queries that process request parameters from URL parameters or form submissions
    Affected if Public endpoints accept user input that flows into database queries without validation

If the installed Lisfinity Core plugin version is 1.5.0 or lower and contains database queries that process unsanitized user input, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
