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. Check installed plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'Radiustheme Variation Images Gallery For Woocommerce' and read the version number displayed under the plugin name. Alternatively, check the 'Version' field in the plugin's main PHP file header in wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if Version is 2.3.3 or lower (any version below 2.3.4)
  2. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, verify the plugin is currently activated. Reflected XSS requires the vulnerable code to be executing.
    Affected if Plugin is active and version is below 2.3.4
  3. Identify attack surface
    The plugin provides variation image gallery functionality for WooCommerce variable products. Review any product pages or shortcodes where this gallery displays, as these are the endpoints where unsanitized user input could be reflected.
    Affected if The plugin is in use on the site with version below 2.3.4 and displays variation galleries to visitors
  4. Test for reflected XSS (optional manual verification)
    If you have a staging environment, you can inspect the plugin's frontend output. Since this is a reflected XSS, the vulnerability exists in how the plugin handles request parameters and reflects them back in the HTML response without proper sanitization.
    Affected if Plugin handles user-supplied input in URLs or forms without sanitization and reflects it in the page output
