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 the plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'WPFactory WP Currency Exchange Rates', or check the plugins directory for the currency-exchange-rates folderAffected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation

-
Inspect forms and AJAX actions for nonce validationReview the plugin PHP files for presence of wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or nonce_field function calls on forms that handle user inputAffected if Forms or AJAX handlers lack CSRF token validation (nonces) or use them improperly
-
Inspect output rendering for proper escapingReview plugin PHP files where user-supplied data (exchange rates, settings, or currency data) is displayed to the browserAffected if Output is not sanitized using functions like esc_html, esc_attr, or esc_textarea before display
