dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the Frontend Dashboard pluginAccess your WordPress installation via FTP or file manager, then navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and look for a folder named 'frontend-dashboard' or similar. Alternatively, log into WordPress admin and go to Plugins > Installed Plugins to find 'Frontend Dashboard' by vinoth06.Affected if The plugin folder exists and the plugin appears in the WordPress plugins list.
-
Identify the installed versionIf using WP-CLI, run 'wp plugin get frontend-dashboard --field=version'. Otherwise, open the main plugin file (usually frontend-dashboard.php) in the plugin folder and look for the 'Version:' header in the plugin comment block at the top of the file.Affected if The version number displayed is 2.2.2 or lower, or if no version is found and the plugin is present.
-
Verify unauthenticated access is possibleTest if the affected endpoint is accessible without authentication. This typically involves sending a request to the plugin's AJAX endpoint or API route without providing valid WordPress credentials. Common paths to probe include /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=fd_... or /wp-json/fd/v1/... endpoints, though the exact endpoint varies by plugin version.Affected if The endpoint returns sensitive data (such as user information, settings, or private content) without requiring login authentication.
-
Confirm plugin is activeIn WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify that Frontend Dashboard shows as 'Active'. If using WP-CLI, run 'wp plugin status frontend-dashboard' to check the status.Affected if The plugin is installed and actively running on the WordPress site.
You are affected if the Frontend Dashboard plugin by vinoth06 is installed, active, and running version 2.2.2 or lower, with unauthenticated endpoints accessible without login.
