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.
-
Check if WishList Member X plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'WishList Member X' in the list, or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a wishlist-member-x folderAffected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, click on the plugin name/link to view details and find the version number displayed there, or open /wp-content/plugins/wishlist-member-x/readme.txt and locate the 'Stable tag' or 'Version' entryAffected if The version is lower than 3.26.7 (the vulnerable versions are prior to the fix in 3.26.7)
-
Verify plugin is activeIn WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, check if WishList Member X shows 'Active' status under the plugin nameAffected if The plugin is active and the version is below 3.26.7
-
Check for admin user role access to plugin settingsAccess the WishList Member X settings panel (usually under WishList Member > Settings) and verify that only administrators can access sensitive configuration areas; inspect the plugin's capability checks by reviewing /wp-content/plugins/wishlist-member-x/ for files handling capability verification (often named capabilit*, auth*, permiss*, or access*.php)Affected if Non-administrator roles can access plugin administrative functions they should not be able to reach, indicating the authorization bypass is present
