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 WP EXtra plugin installationCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'wp-extra', 'wp-extra-plugin', or similar variants used by Wpvnteam. Also check the WordPress admin panel under Plugins > Installed Plugins for 'WP EXtra' or 'Wp Extra'.Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed version numberIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find the version number listed under the WP EXtra plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin's main PHP file header for the 'Version' comment, typically in wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/extra.php or similar main file.Affected if Version is 6.2 or lower, or if the version cannot be determined but the plugin is present
-
Verify plugin is activeIn WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, confirm whether WP EXtra shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive' or 'Must Use'.Affected if Plugin is installed and active (vulnerability is exploitable without authentication when active)
-
Check for unauthorized code injectionReview plugin files in wp-content/plugins/[extra-folder]/ for any unexpected PHP files with obfuscated code, base64_decode calls, or shell_exec/system passthru functions that did not exist in the original plugin. Also check wp-config.php and theme functions.php for suspicious additions.Affected if Foreign PHP code is present in plugin directory or site files indicating exploitation
If WP EXtra by Wpvnteam is installed and active at version 6.2 or below, the environment is affected by this code injection vulnerability.
