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 eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat addon-jobsearch-chat allows SQL Injection.This issue affects Addon Jobsearch Chat: from n/a through <= 3.0.

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

SQL Injection vulnerability in eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized input in the plugin's database queries, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements, implement proper input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data before constructing database queries.

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. Identify the eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat plugin
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or plugin admin panel for a plugin named 'eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat' or 'Jobsearch Chat' by eyecix
    Affected if the plugin is installed and active
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    View the plugin details in WordPress admin under Plugins, or check the plugin's main PHP file for a version comment or constant
    Affected if the version cannot be determined or is unknown
  3. Locate the jobsearch chat database interaction code
    Search the plugin files for SQL query functions (such as $wpdb->prepare, mysqli_query, or raw SQL execution) related to chat functionality, typically in files named 'chat.php', 'jobsearch-chat.php', or similar within the plugin folder
    Affected if direct SQL queries exist without $wpdb->prepare or parameterized statements
  4. Inspect user input handling in chat queries
    Review the identified SQL query code to determine if $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters are used directly in queries without sanitization or parameter binding
    Affected if user-supplied input from request parameters is concatenated directly into SQL queries without escaping or prepared statements
  5. Test for SQL injection vulnerability
    If you have a staging environment, use a SQL injection testing tool or manually inject a single quote and SQL meta-characters into chat-related URL parameters (such as job_id, user_id, or chat_id) to observe database errors
    Affected if the application returns SQL syntax errors or behaves unexpectedly with malicious input

A user is affected if the eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat plugin is installed with user input being directly concatenated into SQL queries without prepared statements or proper sanitization.
