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. Check the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Easy Forms for Mailchimp' by Code Parrots. The version number is displayed under the plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/easy-forms-for-mailchimp/easy-forms-for-mailchimp.php for 'Version:' tag.
    Affected if The installed version is 6.9.0 or lower.
  2. Verify if plugin logging is enabled
    Look for plugin settings in WordPress admin under the plugin menu. Check for logging-related options such as 'Enable Logging', 'Debug Mode', or 'Log all submissions'. These may be in Settings > Easy Forms for Mailchimp or similar.
    Affected if Logging or debug mode is turned on in the plugin settings.
  3. Locate plugin log files
    Check common log directories in the WordPress installation: /wp-content/uploads/easy-forms-for-mailchimp/logs/, /wp-content/debug.log, or any custom log path configured in plugin settings. Also check /wp-content/plugins/easy-forms-for-mailchimp/logs/ if it exists.
    Affected if Log files exist in the plugin directory or configured log location.
  4. Inspect log files for sensitive data
    Open any found log files and search for patterns that indicate sensitive data: look for strings matching API key formats (long alphanumeric strings), Mailchimp API tokens, email addresses, password-related keywords, or JSON structures containing credentials.
    Affected if Log files contain visible API keys, tokens, email addresses, or other credentials in plain text.
  5. Check file permissions on log directories
    Verify that log directories and files are not publicly accessible. Check file permissions using 'ls -la' via SSH or FTP. Logs should not be world-readable or accessible via direct URL.
    Affected if Log files are readable by unauthorized users or accessible via web browser.
