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.
-
Verify plugin is installed and get versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find 'Evergreen Content Poster' or check the plugin main file header for version numberAffected if Plugin is installed and version is 1.4.2 or lower
-
Identify plugin main file locationCheck wp-content/plugins/evergreen-content-poster/ directory for the main plugin PHP file and inspect it for version declarationAffected if Plugin version cannot be determined or shows 1.4.2 or below
-
Inspect AJAX endpoint registrationsSearch plugin files for wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ action hooks to identify publicly accessible AJAX endpointsAffected if AJAX endpoints are registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_ allowing unauthenticated access
-
Check for missing capability checksExamine sensitive function files for presence of current_user_can() calls before privileged operationsAffected if No capability checks found before sensitive operations (content posting, modification, or scheduling)
-
Verify nonce verification absenceSearch plugin AJAX handlers for wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer function callsAffected if AJAX handlers lack nonce verification logic
User is affected if Evergreen Content Poster plugin version is 1.4.2 or lower and AJAX endpoints are accessible without authentication or capability verification.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.4.3
Implement proper WordPress capability checks (current_user_can) and nonce verification on all AJAX endpoints and sensitive functions within the plugin to enforce authorization before executing privileged operations.
1.4.3
- Backup your WordPress site before making any changes
- Update the Evergreen Content Poster plugin to version 1.4.3 or later
- Verify the plugin update was successfully applied by checking the installed version
