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. Confirm SureTriggers plugin is installed
    Locate the SureTriggers plugin in your WordPress installation (typically in wp-content/plugins/suretriggers directory) or check via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins
    Affected if SureTriggers plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed version
    Open the main plugin file (often named main.php, index.php, or suretriggers.php within the plugin directory) and locate the version constant or header comment that displays the current version number
    Affected if Installed version is 1.0.23 or lower
  3. Verify plugin is active
    Check the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins to confirm the SureTriggers plugin is activated
    Affected if Plugin is active and accessible to administrators
  4. Confirm administrative access exists
    Note that this CSRF vulnerability requires an authenticated administrator session; verify that admin accounts exist and the plugin exposes admin-level functionality
    Affected if Authenticated administrator sessions can be targeted with forged requests to plugin endpoints

You are affected if the SureTriggers plugin is installed, active, and running version 1.0.23 or lower, exposing admin-level actions without proper CSRF token validation.
