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.
-
Confirm Conversios.io plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate the Conversios.io (or Conversios) plugin in the list of installed pluginsAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list regardless of active/inactive status
-
Identify the installed versionIn the WordPress Plugins list, read the version number displayed under the Conversios.io plugin nameAffected if Version is present and matches or falls within any affected version range (compare your version to the affected ranges)
-
Inspect plugin for unprotected AJAX endpointsExamine the plugin directory (typically wp-content/plugins/conversios/) for PHP files handling admin-ajax.php requests. Look for action handlers that process requests without calling current_user_can() or similar capability checks before executing sensitive operationsAffected if Any AJAX action handlers in the plugin allow execution without verifying user permissions
-
Check for unauthorized admin function accessReview plugin PHP files for functions performing administrative operations (settings changes, data exports, user data access) that lack proper authorization checks at the function entry pointAffected if Administrative functions can be triggered without verifying the user has appropriate WordPress capabilities
A user is affected if the Conversios.io plugin is installed and any sensitive functionality lacks capability verification checks before execution.

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 proper authorization checks (capability/permission validation) on all sensitive endpoints and functions within the plugin. Verify that all administrative operations require appropriate user capabilities.
