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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the WP Mail Log plugin installationCheck the WordPress plugins directory at wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'wp-mail-log' or similar, or query the WordPress database wp_options table for option_name containing 'active_plugins'Affected if The plugin folder exists in the plugins directory or is listed in WordPress active plugins
-
Identify the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-log/wp-mail-log.php or similar) and read the 'Version' field from the plugin header comments at the top of the fileAffected if The version number displayed is 1.0.1 or lower (e.g., 1.0.1, 1.0.0)
-
Verify WordPress admin access is possibleConfirm that the WordPress site has an active admin dashboard accessible at /wp-admin/ and that administrator accounts exist on the siteAffected if The site has an active WordPress admin panel with administrator user accounts, which is required for the CSRF attack to target authenticated sessions
-
Confirm the plugin handles admin actionsReview whether the plugin exposes any admin action URLs (typically in settings pages or via AJAX endpoints) that perform state-changing operations without requiring nonce verificationAffected if The plugin contains admin functionality that processes requests without validating anti-CSRF tokens (nonces)
You are affected if the WP Mail Log plugin is installed with version 1.0.1 or below and your site has an accessible WordPress admin area with active administrator accounts.
