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 Aitool Ai Auto Tool plugin is installedLog into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the directory wp-content/plugins/aitool-ai-auto-tool/ for the main plugin PHP fileAffected if The plugin directory or entry exists in the WordPress installation

-
Confirm vulnerability via version comparisonCompare your installed version number against the affected range: any version from 1.0.0 through 2.1.2 is vulnerable; version 2.1.3 and later are patchedAffected if Installed version is 2.1.2 or lower (the plugin is affected)
-
Identify exposed sensitive endpoints (optional manual check)Review the plugin directory for PHP files containing AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or admin-action functions; test whether these endpoints respond without requiring authentication or proper capability checks by sending direct HTTP requestsAffected if Sensitive plugin functions or data are accessible to unauthenticated users or users lacking administrator privileges
