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.
-
Identify GetSimple CMS installationLocate the GetSimple CMS installation directory and check for the presence of gsconfig.php or index.php files that contain 'GetSimple' brandingAffected if GetSimple CMS CE is installed on the server
-
Determine installed GetSimple versionCheck the version file (typically version.php in the admin directory or within the gsconfig.php) or inspect the admin footer for the version numberAffected if The installed version is exactly 3.3.19
-
Verify backend access existsCheck if the /admin/ directory is accessible and if user authentication functionality is presentAffected if Authenticated user accounts can access the backend
-
Locate plugin module functionalityExamine the admin/plugin directory or plugin management interface within the GetSimple backend for any installed plugins that make external requestsAffected if A plugin module that allows URL input or external requests is enabled
-
Check for SSRF-prone plugin functionalityReview plugin code files for functions that accept user-supplied URLs and perform server-side HTTP requests (using curl, file_get_contents, or similar functions)Affected if A plugin module accepts URLs from input and makes server-side requests to those URLs
If GetSimple CMS CE version 3.3.19 is running with an authenticated-accessible backend plugin module that can make external requests, the environment is affected by this SSRF vulnerability.
