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.
-
Confirm PeproDev Ultimate Invoice plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin Plugins page and locate PeproDev Ultimate Invoice in the list of installed pluginsAffected if Plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Identify installed plugin versionClick 'View details' on the plugin or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-invoice/includes/plugin.php for the Version defined constantAffected if Version number is 2.0.0 or lower
-
Inspect AJAX endpoints for access controlExamine plugin PHP files in /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-invoice/includes/ for add_action("wp_ajax_*") calls without capability checks (current_user_can, check_ajax_referer, or nonce verification)Affected if AJAX handlers exist without current_user_can() or nonce validation checks
-
Test invoice data access without authorizationUsing a low-privilege user account (subscriber level), attempt to access invoice data via plugin AJAX endpoints or direct URL parameters that should require higher privilegesAffected if Lower-privilege users can view or modify invoice data belonging to other users
-
Review invoice generation functions for role checksSearch plugin PHP files for functions that generate or display invoices and verify they include capability checks like 'manage_options' or 'edit_invoices'Affected if Invoice generation or display functions lack capability verification before processing data
Environment is affected if PeproDev Ultimate Invoice plugin version 2.0.0 or lower is installed AND sensitive plugin functions lack proper capability or nonce validation checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks (capability verification) and nonce validation on all sensitive functions and AJAX endpoints within the plugin to ensure users can only access data they are authorized to view.
