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 RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugin directory (wp-content/plugins) for a folder named romethemekit-for-elementor or romethemekit, or view it in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed PluginsAffected if The RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is present in the plugins directory and is activated
-
Identify the installed version numberOpen the main plugin file (usually main.php, index.php, or the plugin root file) and locate the Version header in the plugin comment block, or check the version displayed in the WordPress admin plugins listAffected if The reported version is 1.4.1 or any version lower than 1.4.1
-
Check if the plugin exposes AJAX actionsSearch the plugin source code for do_action('wp_ajax_') and do_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_') declarations, or look for add_action calls referencing wp_ajax hooks to identify exposed endpointsAffected if The plugin registers AJAX actions accessible to unauthenticated users (wp_ajax_nopriv_) without proper authorization checks
-
Inspect AJAX callbacks for capability and nonce validationExamine the callback functions registered to AJAX hooks - look for current_user_can() calls to verify capability checks and wp_verify_nonce() or check_ajax_referer() for nonce validationAffected if AJAX callback functions lack capability checks (current_user_can) or nonce validation before executing sensitive operations
You are affected if the RomethemeKit For Elementor plugin is installed at version 1.4.1 or lower and exposes AJAX actions or other functions that execute without verifying user authentication or authorization capabilities.

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 actions within the plugin to ensure users can only access resources they are permitted to access.
