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 YMC Filter & Grids is installed
    Log in to WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or run `wp plugin list` via WP-CLI if available. Look for 'YMC Filter & Grids' in the list.
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed version
    On the Plugins page in wp-admin, click 'View Details' next to YMC Filter & Grids to see the version number. Alternatively, open the main plugin file (typically /wp-content/plugins/ymc-filter-grids/ymc-filter-grids.php) and check the 'Version' field in the plugin header comment.
    Affected if Unable to confirm a version number
  3. Compare version against 2.8.34
    Review the detected version number and compare it to 2.8.34. Versions below 2.8.34 are affected by this missing authorization vulnerability.
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 2.8.34 (e.g., 2.8.33, 2.8.30, etc.)
  4. Confirm plugin is active
    On the Plugins page, verify that YMC Filter & Grids shows as 'Active' under the plugin status. Alternatively, run `wp plugin status ymc-filter-grids` via WP-CLI.
    Affected if Plugin is installed but not active - the vulnerability is not exploitable in this state

You are affected if YMC Filter & Grids is installed, active, and running a version lower than 2.8.34, as the missing authorization flaw only applies to the active plugin below that version.
