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 plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for 'bdthemes-element-pack-lite' or 'bdthemes-element-pack' folder. Alternatively, run: wp plugin list --name='element-pack-lite' via WP-CLI
    Affected if The plugin folder 'bdthemes-element-pack-lite' or 'bdthemes-element-pack' exists in the plugins directory
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, find 'Element Pack Lite' or 'Element Pack' and read the version number from the plugin details. Or inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/bdthemes-element-pack-lite/ for 'Version:' field
    Affected if The displayed version is 5.7.5 or lower (any version before 5.7.6)
  3. Confirm authentication requirement for exploitation
    Note that this is an authenticated stored XSS - the attacker needs at least Contributor-level access to inject the payload. Review user roles with access to the plugin's form/contact/booking widgets where input is captured
    Affected if The site allows untrusted users (below Administrator) to access or create content using Element Pack widgets
  4. Identify usage of input-capturing widgets
    Review pages/posts using Element Pack widgets that accept user input, such as contact forms, booking forms, registration fields, or any widget that saves and displays user-submitted data on the frontend
    Affected if Element Pack widgets that store and display user input are published on live pages

You are affected if the bdthemes Element Pack plugin version is 5.7.5 or lower AND the site has non-administrator users with access to create or edit content using Element Pack widgets that capture and display user input.
