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.
-
Verify the plugin is installedLog in to WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'DSGVO All in one for WP' or 'Dsgvo For Wp Dsgvo All In One For Wp' in the list of active or installed plugins.Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list.

-
Confirm via plugin files if accessibleIf you have file system access, check the main plugin file (typically named dsgvo-all-in-one-for-wp.php or similar in wp-content/plugins/) for the version header comment, or check the plugin's main PHP file for the Version constant or defined value.Affected if The version read from the plugin files is less than 4.4.
-
Check for state-changing admin actionsReview the plugin settings pages and admin menu items to identify any forms or action URLs that perform state-changing operations such as saving settings, updating options, or executing administrative functions.Affected if The plugin has admin forms or action hooks that process requests without explicit nonce verification.
If the DSGVO All in one for WP plugin is installed and the version is below 4.4, the environment is affected by this CSRF vulnerability due to missing anti-CSRF token validation.
