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 Simple Business Directory Pro plugin allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via unsanitized user input in database queries. The CVSS 9.3 indicates remote unauthenticated attackers can potentially extract, modify, or delete database contents including sensitive data.

MitigationUpgrade to the latest version of Simple Business Directory Pro which contains the patched code. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Alternatively, implement input validation and use prepared statements for all 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. Verify Simple Business Directory Pro is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for 'Simple Business Directory Pro', or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the plugin folder
    Affected if Plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, click on the plugin name to view details and note the version number, or check the main plugin PHP file for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments
    Affected if Version is unknown or older than the patched release
  3. Determine if the plugin exposes search or filter functionality publicly
    Visit pages with the plugin shortcode and identify any search fields, filter dropdowns, or URL parameters used by the plugin. Check if these are accessible to unauthenticated visitors
    Affected if Public-facing pages using the plugin accept user input via query parameters or form submissions
  4. Inspect database query code for unsanitized input
    Examine the plugin source code, specifically files handling search or filter requests. Look for direct SQL queries where user input from $_GET, $_POST, or request parameters is concatenated or inserted without $wpdb->prepare() or escaping functions
    Affected if Database queries contain user input that is not sanitized, parameterized, or using prepared statements

If Simple Business Directory Pro is installed and its public-facing search or filter features accept unsanitized user input that reaches database queries, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
