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 Xpro Xpro Elementor Addons xpro-elementor-addons allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Xpro Elementor Addons: from n/a through <= 1.5.1.

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 Xpro Elementor Addons plugin where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious SQL statements through vulnerable parameters, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database or performing unauthorized operations. The blind nature means the attacker infers results through behavioral differences rather than seeing direct output.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Xpro Elementor Addons if available, or implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations that accept user input. Apply input validation and escaping for all user-supplied parameters before SQL execution.

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 Xpro Elementor Addons plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or WordPress admin panel under Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'Xpro Elementor Addons' or 'Xpro Addons' in the list of active plugins.
    Affected if The plugin appears in the list of installed plugins, indicating the software is present in the environment.
  2. Identify installed version of Xpro Elementor Addons
    In WordPress admin, click on the plugin name to view details, or check the plugin header in its main PHP file (typically in wp-content/plugins/xpro-elementor-addons/). Look for the 'Version' field in the plugin metadata.
    Affected if The installed version matches any version of Xpro Elementor Addons prior to the patched release (no specific version range was provided in the CVE).
  3. Identify user input parameters used by the plugin
    Review your web application traffic or check plugin forms, search widgets, filter modules, and any frontend elements built with Xpro Elementor Addons. Capture HTTP requests to identify parameters that accept user input.
    Affected if The plugin exposes parameters (such as search fields, filter options, or query parameters) that accept user-supplied data.
  4. Examine database query handling in plugin code
    Inspect the plugin PHP files, particularly any files handling search, filtering, or data retrieval. Look for direct SQL query construction where user input variables are concatenated or interpolated into query strings without proper escaping or prepared statements.
    Affected if Code contains SQL queries that directly incorporate $_GET, $_POST, or similar user input variables without using $wpdb->prepare() or parameterized queries.
  5. Check for anomalous database activity or SQL errors
    Review web server error logs and application logs for SQL syntax errors, unusual database queries, or repeated similar database calls that could indicate blind SQL injection probing.
    Affected if Logs show SQL errors with injected-looking content in query parameters, or unusual patterns of database activity originating from user requests.

If Xpro Elementor Addons is installed and its code contains direct SQL queries using user-supplied input without prepared statements, the environment is likely affected by this blind SQL injection vulnerability.
