Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2008-0490 is a SQL injection issue in the WP-Cal 0.3 WordPress plugin. If the vulnerable plugin is present, a remote attacker could manipulate the id parameter in functions/editevent.php to run arbitrary database queries. The source bundle does not name a patch, affected CPE, or active exploitation. Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running the WP-Cal plugin version 0.3 with the vulnerable editevent.php route reachable. The bundle lists affected vendor/product as n/a, so asset confirmation depends on local plugin inventory rather than CPE matching. Prioritize this for any public WordPress estate still carrying legacy plugins. The business risk is database compromise, but urgency depends entirely on whether WP-Cal 0.3 is installed and exposed. Mitigation focus: Inventory WordPress sites for the WP-Cal plugin, especially version 0.3.; Remove or disable WP-Cal 0.3 where it is no longer required.; Check vendor or trusted plugin guidance for a maintained fixed version..
