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 Easy Blocks Pro plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for the Easy Blocks Pro plugin folder, or list installed plugins via wp-admin > PluginsAffected if The plugin files exist in the WordPress installation
-

-
Identify exposed administrative functionsReview plugin PHP files for AJAX handlers, admin menu pages, or REST API endpoints that lack current_user_can() or similar capability checksAffected if Any admin actions or functions are callable without proper authorization verification
-
Test unauthenticated access to plugin functionalityAttempt to access plugin-related URLs or make AJAX/REST API calls to plugin endpoints without logging in or providing authenticationAffected if The requests succeed and return sensitive data or perform administrative actions without authentication
A user is affected if the Easy Blocks Pro plugin version is 1.0.21 or lower and unauthenticated or unauthorized access to plugin functionality is possible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks (such as current_user_can() capability verification) on all affected functions/endpoints to ensure only users with appropriate permissions can access the functionality. Update to the latest version when available.
