Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A code injection vulnerability in the AlgolPlus Advanced Order Export For WooCommerce plugin allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability stems from improper control of code generation, likely due to insufficient input validation or unsafe use of user-supplied data in dynamic code execution contexts.

MitigationUpdate to the latest patched version of the plugin once available. Until then, restrict plugin access to trusted users only and implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious injection attempts.

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. Locate the plugin installation directory
    Check your WordPress plugins folder (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'advanced-order-export-for-woocommerce' or similar variations containing 'algolplus' or 'order-export'
    Affected if The plugin directory exists on the server
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (usually named plugin-name.php) and look for the version comment/header, or check the WordPress plugin admin page for the installed version number
    Affected if The version number is lower than the patched version (check the WordPress plugin repository for the latest patched version)
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and verify the AlgolPlus Advanced Order Export For WooCommerce plugin shows as 'Active'
    Affected if The plugin is activated and accessible on the site
  4. Verify user access controls
    Review WordPress user roles with access to the plugin settings (usually under WooCommerce > Export Orders) and confirm only trusted administrator-level users have access
    Affected if Users with Subscriber, Contributor, or Customer roles, or unauthenticated visitors, can access the export functionality
  5. Inspect server logs for suspicious export requests
    Review web server access logs for the export endpoint (typically /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or a custom export URL) for anomalous parameters that may indicate injection attempts
    Affected if Log entries show unexpected code-like patterns in export parameters

Your environment is affected if the AlgolPlus Advanced Order Export For WooCommerce plugin is installed, active, and running a version lower than the patched release, especially if untrusted users can access its export functionality.
