dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-

Review user roles with elevated permissionsIn WordPress admin, go to Users > Users List and examine all user accounts, noting their assigned roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.)Affected if Any user account exists with a role that should not have administrative or high-level access privileges
-
Inspect role capability assignmentsUse a plugin or WP-CLI command 'wp role list' to enumerate all custom roles, or manually inspect if any non-administrator roles have capabilities typically reserved for administrators (like manage_options, edit_users, delete_users)Affected if Custom or modified roles exist that grant elevated capabilities to lower-privileged users
Your environment is affected if the Greenshift plugin version is below 9.8 OR if non-administrator user accounts have been granted elevated permissions that bypass normal authorization checks.
