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.
-
Verify PHPJabbers Yacht Listing Script versionLocate the script installation directory and check the version identifier in the software documentation, admin panel, or version file. This is typically found in a config file, README, or the admin dashboard under 'System' or 'About' sections.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
-
Confirm Reservations module is activeLog into the admin panel and navigate to the module management section. Check whether the Reservations module is enabled and accessible. This is usually found under 'Modules' or 'Features' in the admin dashboard.Affected if The Reservations module is installed and enabled in the system
-
Identify export functionality in ReservationsAccess the Reservations section in the admin panel and locate any export, download, or data extraction features. Look for buttons or links labeled 'Export', 'Download', 'CSV', 'PDF', or similar that allow downloading reservation data.Affected if Export functionality exists and is accessible within the Reservations module
-
Review export output for sensitive data exposureUse the Reservations export feature to generate a sample export file. Open the file and inspect the fields included in the output. Check whether any fields contain full or partial credit card numbers, CVV codes, or other payment card data.Affected if The exported data includes credit card numbers or other PCI-DSS protected payment card data in plaintext or unmasked form
-
Check access control on Reservations exportTest accessing the Reservations export functionality from different user roles (admin, staff, limited user) without authentication, or verify if the export feature requires authentication and proper authorization before allowing data download.Affected if The export feature can be accessed by unauthorized users or users without proper role-based access to payment data
A user is affected if the PHPJabbers Yacht Listing Script version is exactly 1.0, the Reservations module is enabled, and the export functionality exposes credit card numbers in its output without proper access controls.
