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
The Riaxe Product Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'options' parameter keys within 'product_data' of the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and insufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

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

Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Riaxe Product Customizer (InkXE Product Designer Lite) WordPress plugin. The vulnerability exists in the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart REST API endpoint where the 'options' parameter within 'product_data' is not properly sanitized or escaped before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 2.1.2 if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all SQL queries using the 'options' parameter and add proper input validation on the REST API endpoint.

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 the plugin is installed
    Check for the InkXE Product Designer Lite plugin in your WordPress installation: navigate to wp-content/plugins/ or check via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins
    Affected if The plugin Riaxe Product Customizer / InkXE Product Designer Lite is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Read the main plugin file (usually inkxe-product-designer-lite.php or similar in wp-content/plugins/) and locate the version header comment, or check the plugin row in WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if The version is 2.1.2 or lower, since the fix is reportedly beyond 2.1.2
  3. Confirm the vulnerable REST API endpoint exists
    Check if the file handling the REST route exists in the plugin directory, typically look for files that register the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart endpoint
    Affected if The REST endpoint /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart is registered and accessible without authentication
  4. Inspect the SQL query handling for the options parameter
    Examine the plugin PHP files that process the add-item-to-cart REST endpoint, specifically look for SQL queries using the 'options' parameter from 'product_data' without prepared statements
    Affected if The code uses the 'options' parameter directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or proper escaping
  5. Test unauthenticated access to the endpoint
    Send a crafted POST request to /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart with a test payload in the 'options' parameter to observe if the endpoint processes it without authentication
    Affected if The endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests and processes the 'options' parameter without sanitization

A user is affected if the InkXE Product Designer Lite plugin is installed with version 2.1.2 or lower AND the REST API endpoint /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart is accessible without authentication and processes the 'options' parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements.

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

Update the plugin to a version beyond 2.1.2 if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all SQL queries using the 'options' parameter and add proper input validation on the REST API endpoint.
