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 dashboard > Plugins and look for 'Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP' by Magazine3, or check the filesystem at wp-content/plugins/schema-wp-structured-data-for-wp-and-amp/ for the plugin folder
    Affected if plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP, click on the plugin name to view details and read the version number, or inspect the main plugin file header in schema-wp-structured-data-for-wp-and-amp/schema-wp-structured-data-for-wp-and-amp.php
    Affected if version displayed is 1.3.5 or lower
  3. Check for the vulnerability condition
    Compare your installed version against the affected range: versions 1.3.5 and below are vulnerable; versions 1.3.6 and above contain the fix
    Affected if installed version is 1.3.5 or any version below 1.3.5

You are affected if the Magazine3 Schema plugin is installed and the version number is 1.3.5 or lower, since the missing authorization flaw exists in those versions.
