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 if Spreadr Woocommerce plugin is installedAccess WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and search for 'Spreadr Woocommerce' or 'spreadr'. Alternatively, check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'spreadr-woocommerce' or similar.Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory.
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find the Spreadr Woocommerce plugin, and note the version number displayed below the plugin name. If using wp-cli, run: wp plugin list --search='spreadr' --format=tableAffected if The displayed version number is 1.0.4 or lower.
-
Confirm the plugin is activeIn WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify that Spreadr Woocommerce shows as 'Active'. Alternatively, query the database: SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%active_plugins%' and check if the plugin is included.Affected if The plugin is currently activated on the WordPress site.
-
Check for unauthorized access to admin functionsTest access to plugin-related AJAX endpoints or admin pages without authentication. Common WordPress plugin endpoints include /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=spreadr_... or /wp-json/spreadr/... Make a GET or POST request to these endpoints using a tool like curl and check if the server responds without requiring login.Affected if The server returns successful data or a non-401/403 response without valid authentication cookies or nonce tokens.
If the Spreadr Woocommerce plugin is installed, active, and running version 1.0.4 or lower, the site is affected by this missing authorization vulnerability.

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 (authentication verification, capability checks, and nonce validation) on all sensitive functions and admin pages within the plugin. Update to a patched version if available from the vendor.
