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 Search Everything plugin is installed
    Access WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins section, or inspect wp-content/plugins/search-everything/ directory via file system
    Affected if Plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, view plugin details page for Search Everything, or check the main plugin PHP file for version comment/constant (typically search-everything.php)
    Affected if Version is 7.0.2 or any version prior to 7.0.3
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress admin Plugins page, verify Search Everything shows as Active
    Affected if Plugin is activated and accessible to site visitors
  4. Identify if search functionality is exposed
    Attempt a search query on the site using the s parameter (e.g., ?s=test) to confirm the search feature is functional and processing queries
    Affected if Site search works and passes the s parameter to the plugin's se_search_default function

If Search Everything plugin version 7.0.2 is installed and active, the site is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
