dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Bricks Builder plugin is installedLocate the Bricks Builder plugin in the WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ or via the WordPress admin Plugins pageAffected if The Bricks Builder plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Check the installed version of Bricks BuilderView the plugin version in the WordPress admin Plugins list, in the plugin's main PHP file header, or via WP-CLI command 'wp plugin list --format=json' to see installed plugins and versionsAffected if The installed version is 1.9.6 or lower (any version through 1.9.6)
