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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify WP Fundraising Donation plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or access Plugins > Installed Plugins in the admin dashboard. Look for 'WP Fundraising Donation and Crowdfunding Platform' or 'WP Fundraising' in the plugin list.
    Affected if The plugin is present in the installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and click on the plugin to view details, or check the plugin's main PHP file header for the Version constant. Compare the version number to the fixed version 1.6.5.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.6.5 or the version cannot be determined
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify the plugin status shows as 'Active'. An inactive plugin would not be exploitable.
    Affected if The plugin is currently active on the site
  4. Audit user accounts and roles for unauthorized access
    Review Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Look for suspicious new administrator accounts or unexpected user registrations that could indicate the vulnerability was exploited. Check User Roles under each account.
    Affected if Unexpected user accounts exist, especially administrator-level accounts not created by known administrators
  5. Review donation campaigns for unauthorized modifications
    Access the plugin's campaign management section (typically under Fundraising > All Campaigns). Check for campaigns created or modified by unknown users, or with altered settings.
    Affected if Campaigns exist that were not created by authorized administrators or show unauthorized changes
