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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm plugin installation
    Locate the ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes plugin in your WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ or via the WordPress plugin admin panel
    Affected if The plugin is present and active on the WooCommerce site
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    Access the plugin file header (usually elex-bulk-edit-main.php or similar) and locate the Version comment, or check via WordPress plugin admin panel plugin details
    Affected if The version number is lower than the version that includes the security fix
  3. Verify unauthenticated access to bulk edit endpoints
    Test access to the plugin bulk edit AJAX handlers or form endpoints without authentication using a web request tool
    Affected if The plugin processes bulk edit requests without requiring user authentication or validation
  4. Check for unsanitized input parameters
    Inspect HTTP requests to the plugin functionality (typically via admin-ajax.php or dedicated plugin endpoints) and observe if user-supplied parameters are reflected in SQL queries without proper escaping
    Affected if Input parameters are not sanitized or use string concatenation instead of prepared statements in database queries
