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 the installed plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins > Smart Online Order For Clover and check the version number displayed, or inspect the plugin's main PHP file (usually in wp-content/plugins/smart-online-order-for-clover/) for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if The displayed version is 1.5.6 or lower (any version below 1.5.7)
  2. Confirm the plugin is active
    Check that the Smart Online Order For Clover plugin is currently activated in WordPress Admin > Plugins
    Affected if The plugin is active and the version is vulnerable (1.5.6 or below)
  3. Inspect plugin endpoints for authorization gaps
    Examine the plugin's PHP files (particularly in the main plugin directory and any includes/api subdirectories) for AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or form processing scripts. Look for functions that perform sensitive actions without checking current_user_can() or similar authorization checks
    Affected if Sensitive plugin functions are accessible without proper capability checks or authentication verification
  4. Test for unauthenticated access to plugin functionality
    If you have access to site diagnostics, examine whether plugin AJAX actions (wp_ajax_* and wp_ajax_nopriv_*) or custom REST endpoints are registered and accessible without authentication. Check the plugin code for add_action calls with 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' prefix which would allow unauthenticated users to trigger those actions
    Affected if The plugin registers AJAX or API endpoints accessible to unauthenticated users (actions with 'nopriv' hooks) that perform sensitive operations

You are affected if the Smart Online Order For Clover plugin version is 1.5.6 or lower and the plugin is active, as the missing authorization vulnerability exists in these versions.
