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 Novo-Map plugin installationAccess your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'Novo Media Novo Map' or 'Novo-Map' in the list. Alternatively, check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'novo-map' or similar.Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory.
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, find the Novo-Map plugin entry and locate the version number displayed below the plugin name. If not visible in the admin, check the main plugin PHP file header for the 'Version' tag, typically found at /wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/novo-map.php.Affected if The displayed version number is 1.1.2 or lower.
-
Verify plugin activation statusIn WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, confirm whether Novo-Map shows as 'Active' (the plugin is enabled and running).Affected if The plugin is activated.
-
Confirm WordPress version contextCheck your WordPress core version by visiting Dashboard > Updates or inspecting the wp-includes/version.php file. While WordPress core versions are not directly in scope for this CVE, ensure your WordPress installation is up-to-date as a general security practice.Affected if WordPress is severely outdated (not directly relevant to this CVE but good practice).
You are affected if the Novo-Map plugin is installed, active, and running at version 1.1.2 or below, as this version lacks CSRF protection for administrator actions.
