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 if the vulnerable plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for folders named 'team-member', 'sk-abul-hasan-team-member', 'wpmart-team-member', or similar team member related plugins. Alternatively, log into the WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins to list all active plugins.Affected if The plugin 'Sk. Abul Hasan Team Member' or 'Wpmart Team Member Team With Slider' appears in the installed plugins list
-
Check the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate the team member plugin. The version number is displayed under the plugin name. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (e.g., team-member.php) and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The displayed version number is 4.4 or lower
-
Verify if the plugin team member functionality is in useNavigate to the WordPress admin panel and look for a 'Team Member' or 'Team With Slider' menu item (typically in the left sidebar). Check if any team members have been created and saved in the system.Affected if Team member entries exist in the plugin's content storage (database entries or published pages containing team member displays)

Determine if any users with 'Author' or higher role have access to the team member plugin creation/editing functionality. This typically requires Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator roles.Affected if There are users with Author or higher roles who have access to create or edit team member entries through this plugin
If the plugin is installed, the version is 4.4 or lower, team member entries exist, and author-level users can access the plugin functionality, the environment is affected by this stored XSS vulnerability.
