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. Identify if photo-gallery plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for '10web Photo Gallery' or 'Photo Gallery' by 10web
    Affected if The plugin is listed in the installed plugins
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, find the Photo Gallery plugin and view the version number displayed below the plugin name
    Affected if The version number is less than 1.2.42 (e.g., 1.2.40, 1.2.41, or any version before 1.2.42)
  3. Verify plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, confirm the Photo Gallery plugin shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive'
    Affected if The plugin is active and running on the site
  4. Check for admin users
    In WordPress admin > Users, verify if any user accounts with Administrator role exist on the site
    Affected if There are administrator accounts, as CSRF targets authenticated admins

The environment is affected if the 10web Photo Gallery plugin is installed, active, and running a version lower than 1.2.42, since the CSRF vulnerability targets authenticated administrators using the plugin.
