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.
-
Verify My Wp Brand plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory or view the installed plugins in wp-admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'My Wp Brand' in the list.Affected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress
-
Identify installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, find the My Wp Brand entry in Plugins > Installed Plugins. The version number is displayed beneath the plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin's main PHP file header for the 'Version' field.Affected if Version cannot be determined or is unknown, treat as potentially vulnerable
-
Test for unauthenticated brand accessAttempt to access brand-related pages or endpoints without logging in. Common paths to test: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=my-wp-brand, any custom REST API routes, or AJAX endpoints used by the plugin. Use a browser or curl to request these URLs while logged out.Affected if Content loads, brand data displays, or administrative pages are accessible without authentication
-
Inspect plugin PHP files for authorization checksLocate the My Wp Brand plugin folder in wp-content/plugins. Review the main plugin PHP files, especially AJAX handlers and form processing code. Search for current_user_can, is_user_logged_in, or nonce verification calls.Affected if Code lacks capability checks (current_user_can) or authentication verification before executing brand-related actions
-
Check for exposed AJAX or REST endpointsExamine the plugin for registered AJAX actions (add_action calls with 'wp_ajax_') and REST routes. Test these endpoints using curl or a tool like Burp without providing authentication cookies.Affected if Endpoints respond successfully to unauthenticated requests or return brand configuration data
If the My Wp Brand plugin is installed and brand functionality or administrative pages are accessible without logging in, the environment is affected by this missing authorization vulnerability.
