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 Hiniarata Casebook Plugin is installed
    Check your baserCMS installation for the presence of the Hiniarata Casebook Plugin (often found in the /plugins/ directory or listed in the plugin management section of the CMS admin panel)
    Affected if The plugin is installed and appears in your baserCMS plugin list
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Locate the version information for the Hiniarata Casebook Plugin - this is typically found in a version file, plugin config, or the admin interface under Plugin > Casebook Plugin details
    Affected if You cannot locate version information or the plugin is present without a version number
  3. Compare the version against the affected range
    Check if the installed version number is 0.9.2 or lower
    Affected if The installed version is 0.9.2 or any version number lower than 0.9.2 (e.g., 0.9.1, 0.9.0)
  4. Verify the Recruit plugin is in use
    Confirm that the Recruit plugin functionality is actively used or enabled within your baserCMS installation, as this is the vulnerable component
    Affected if The Recruit plugin module is enabled and accessible to administrative users

You are affected if the Hiniarata Casebook Plugin (which includes the vulnerable Recruit plugin) is installed at version 0.9.2 or lower.
