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.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'Piwebsolution Css Js Manager, Async Javascript, Defer Render Blocking Css Supports Woocommerce' - the version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, check the main plugin PHP file (usually named like class-css-js-manager.php or similar in wp-content/plugins/css-js-manager/) for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The displayed version is 2.4.49 or lower.
-
Confirm the plugin is activeVerify the plugin is currently activated on the WordPress site by checking the Plugins page in the WordPress admin dashboard - look for a 'Active' status indicator next to the plugin.Affected if The plugin is active and the version is 2.4.49 or below.
-
Inspect plugin PHP files for missing nonce verificationUsing a file manager or code editor, examine the main plugin PHP files in wp-content/plugins/css-js-manager/ (or similar path). Search for form submission handlers and AJAX action hooks (add_action('wp_ajax_...')). Look for the absence of 'check_ajax_referer' or 'wp_verify_nonce' function calls before processing requests.Affected if Form handlers or AJAX endpoints do not contain nonce verification calls, meaning the plugin is vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
A user is affected if the Piwebsolution CSS JS Manager plugin is active at version 2.4.49 or below and the plugin's form submissions and AJAX endpoints lack nonce verification.
