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 installedAccess WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the wp-content/plugins directory for a plugin named 'Add to Cart Text Changer And Customize Button' or 'Codeastrology Add To Cart Text Changer And Customize Button'Affected if The plugin appears in the list of installed plugins
-
Check the installed versionIn the WordPress admin, find the plugin in the Plugins list and view the version number displayed beneath the plugin name, or inspect the plugin's main PHP file for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment blockAffected if The version number is 2.0 or lower (e.g., 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, etc.)
-
Verify CSRF protection in plugin administrative functionsExamine the plugin's PHP source code (typically found in wp-content/plugins/ directory under the plugin folder) and search for nonce verification functions such as wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or wp_nonce_field in all form handling and AJAX request handlersAffected if No nonce verification functions are found in the plugin's admin action handlers, or the verification is missing before processing state-changing operations
-
Check plugin settings pages for CSRF protectionAccess the plugin's settings page in WordPress admin (typically under WooCommerce or Settings menu) and inspect any forms or AJAX calls. Use browser developer tools to examine form submissions for the presence of a nonce field (usually named '_wpnonce' or similar)Affected if Forms submitted from the plugin settings pages do not include a valid nonce token
A user is affected if the plugin is installed with version 2.0 or lower and the plugin's admin functions lack proper nonce verification for CSRF protection.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement WordPress nonces on all form submissions and AJAX requests within the plugin, and verify these nonces before processing any administrative actions. Ensure nonce verification is applied to all state-changing operations.
