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 Futurio Extra plugin is installedGo to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Futurio Extra' by Futuriowp. Check if it shows as 'Active'.Affected if Plugin is installed and active
-
Check installed version numberIn Plugins list, click on the plugin name or look at the version column next to Futurio Extra. Compare the version number to 2.0.12.Affected if Version is less than 2.0.12 or version cannot be determined (plugin may be outdated)
-
Identify user input entry pointsCheck plugin settings in Appearance > Customize > Futurio Extra Options, and any widget or shortcode areas where site content can be added. Look for fields that accept custom text, HTML, or code input.Affected if Plugin allows custom text/HTML input in any public-facing area without visible escaping
-
Inspect rendered output for escapingView the frontend of your site and inspect the HTML source of areas where you entered custom text via the plugin. Check if characters like < > " are rendered as < > " or appear raw.Affected if User input is rendered without HTML entity encoding (raw < > " characters visible in page source)
You are affected if the Futurio Extra plugin is active with a version lower than 2.0.12, as the stored XSS flaw requires the vulnerable plugin version to be present and have user input fields that render unescaped content on pages.
