dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the SSL Wireless SMS Notification plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the ssl-wireless-sms-notification folderAffected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
