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 RealMag777 Active Products Tables for WooCommerce profit-products-tables-for-woocommerce allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Active Products Tables for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.0.8.

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

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Active Products Tables for WooCommerce plugin (versions <= 1.0.8). The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input, potentially enabling data exfiltration or database compromise. Blind SQL injection differs from classic SQL injection in that the attacker cannot directly see query results but infers information through application behavior differences.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version once available, or implement input validation and use WordPress $wpdb->prepare() for all database queries to prevent SQL injection. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if immediate patching is not possible.

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. Locate the plugin installation
    Check your WordPress wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'active-products-tables-for-woocommerce' or similar. Alternatively, log into WordPress admin and go to Plugins > Installed Plugins to find the plugin.
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in wp-content/plugins/ or the plugin appears in the WordPress admin plugins list.
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, click on the plugin name to view its details and version number. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (usually named similar to the folder) and look for the 'Version:' header in the plugin comment block at the top.
    Affected if The version number displayed is 1.0.8 or lower.
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, check if the plugin shows as 'Active'. Alternatively, query the wp_options table for the active_plugins option to see if the plugin is enabled.
    Affected if The plugin is active and running on the site.
  4. Identify SQL query points in the plugin
    Examine the plugin PHP files, particularly any files handling product table displays or search/filter functionality. Look for direct SQL queries (using $wpdb->query, $wpdb->get_results, etc.) that incorporate user input from $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST without using $wpdb->prepare().
    Affected if The plugin contains SQL queries that process user-supplied input without parameterized preparation.
  5. Test for blind SQL injection behavior
    Using a security testing tool or manual testing, submit unexpected SQL syntax in plugin input fields (search boxes, filter parameters, product ID inputs). Observe whether application response times vary predictably with SQL conditions (e.g., SLEEP commands causing delays), which indicates blind SQL injection is possible.
    Affected if The application exhibits measurable time delays or different behavior patterns based on injected SQL syntax in plugin-controlled parameters.

If the Active Products Tables for WooCommerce plugin is installed at version 1.0.8 or below and is active, with user input being passed directly to SQL queries without prepare() statements, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2026-42727.

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

Update the plugin to the latest version once available, or implement input validation and use WordPress $wpdb->prepare() for all database queries to prevent SQL injection. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if immediate patching is not possible.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest version of Active Products Tables for WooCommerce (greater than 1.0.8)

  1. 1. Backup your WordPress database and files before making any changes.
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in your WordPress admin dashboard.
  3. 3. Locate 'Active Products Tables for WooCommerce' in the plugin list.
  4. 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to install the latest version.
  5. 5. Verify the update was successful by checking the plugin version after updating.
  6. 6. Test the plugin functionality on your site to ensure it works correctly after the update.
  7. 7. If no update is available in the WordPress repository, contact the plugin developer (RealMag777) for a patched version or consider disabling the plugin until a fix is available.
