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.
-
Identify if Atarim plugin is installedCheck your site's plugin/module list, or look for Atarim-related files in your plugin or extension directory. On WordPress, check wp-content/plugins/ for an atarim folder. On other platforms, search for files containing 'atarim' in the name.Affected if The Atarim visual collaboration plugin is present on the system
-
Determine installed Atarim versionCheck the plugin's main file header (e.g., readme.txt, plugin.php, or composer.json) for the version number. In WordPress, the version is often in the main plugin file comment block or in readme.txt. Look for a 'Version:' field.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is not displayed
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the installed version to the affected range: versions up to and including 4.0.1 are vulnerable. If you find version 4.0.1 or earlier, the system is within the affected range.Affected if Installed version is 4.0.1 or earlier (e.g., 4.0.0, 3.x, 2.x)
-
Check for unauthenticated API exposureReview your web server access logs for requests to Atarim-related endpoints (typically /wp-json/atarim/, /api/atarim/, or similar paths) originating from IP addresses that are not authenticated users. Look for successful (200 OK) responses to these endpoints.Affected if Unauthenticated or unrecognized IP addresses are successfully accessing Atarim API endpoints
A user is affected if the Atarim visual collaboration plugin version 4.0.1 or earlier is installed, as this version lacks proper authorization validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate to a version beyond 4.0.1 that includes proper authorization validation, or implement role-based access control checks before executing sensitive operations.
