dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if AdRotate Banner Manager is installedLog in to WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'AdRotate Banner Manager' in the list of active pluginsAffected if AdRotate Banner Manager plugin appears in the installed plugins list

-
Inspect admin forms for nonce validationExamine the plugin PHP files in wp-content/plugins/adrotate-banner-manager/ (or adrotate-pro/) - check admin dashboard form files (usually in 'dashboard' or 'admin' folders) for presence of wp_nonce_field() or wp_nonce_url() calls on state-changing forms such as banner settings, campaign management, and redirect configurationsAffected if Forms handling banner settings, redirects, or campaign configurations lack WordPress nonce verification (the files contain forms without corresponding nonce validation)
Your site is affected if AdRotate Banner Manager version 5.9 or lower is installed and the admin forms lack CSRF token (nonce) protection on state-changing actions.
