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. Verify WOOCS plugin is installed
    Check WordPress plugins directory for 'woocs' folder, or run: wp plugin list --slug=woocs --status=active --format=json
    Affected if Plugin folder 'woocs' exists in /wp-content/plugins/ and shows as active
  2. Check installed plugin version
    Read version from plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/woocs/woocs.php or run: wp plugin get woocs --field=version
    Affected if Version number is lower than 1.4.1.8
  3. Confirm plugin handles currency settings
    Check that currency configuration is accessible at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=woocs, or that WOOCS menu appears in WordPress admin dashboard
    Affected if Admin can access currency switcher settings without additional protection checks
  4. Identify if nonces validate form submissions
    Inspect PHP files in /wp-content/plugins/woocs/ for wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer calls on AJAX and form handlers related to currency settings
    Affected if No nonce validation found in currency settings update handlers (files like class-woocs.php, ajax/woocs-ajax.php, or similar)
  5. Check referrer validation on admin actions
    Search plugin code for check_ajax_referer or referrer header validation in files handling settings changes
    Affected if No referrer or origin validation present on POST requests to currency settings endpoints

User is affected if WOOCS plugin is active with version below 1.4.1.8 and lacks proper nonce/referrer validation on its currency settings forms.
