dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if RomethemeForm For Elementor is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins and look for 'RomethemeForm For Elementor' in the list, or check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named romethemeform-for-elementorAffected if The plugin folder exists in the plugins directory
