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.
-
Locate the installed Eduma theme versionCheck the style.css file in the theme directory (wp-content/themes/eduma/style.css) or view the theme details in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes. The version is declared in the theme header.Affected if The version number displayed is lower than 5.4.8 (e.g., 5.4.7, 5.4.6, etc.)
-
Verify the theme is actively loadedConfirm the Eduma theme is the currently active theme in WordPress by checking wp-admin > Appearance > Themes or inspecting which theme directory serves the front-end requests.Affected if Eduma is the active theme and its version is below 5.4.8
-
Identify if the WordPress version is currentCheck the WordPress version in wp-admin > Dashboard > Updates or by examining the version constant in wp-includes/version.php.Affected if This step confirms the base platform but does not directly indicate XSS presence; however, an outdated Eduma theme combined with an unpatched version is the primary condition.
You are affected if the installed Eduma theme version is below 5.4.8 and the theme is actively used on the site, as this is the only condition required for the reflected XSS vulnerability to potentially exist in your environment.
