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.
-
Locate the Delete All Posts pluginCheck if the plugin directory exists at wp-content/plugins/delete-all-posts/ or similar variant nameAffected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin PHP file and look for the Version header in the plugin comment block, or check readme.txt for the Stable tagAffected if Version is 1.1.1 or lower (any version through 1.1.1)
-
Verify plugin is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and check if Delete All Posts is activatedAffected if The plugin is active and accessible on the site
-
Inspect deletion functions for capability checksReview the plugin code for add_action or add_shortcode hooks that handle post deletion; verify if current_user_can() or a capability check is present before any bulk delete operationsAffected if No capability check (like manage_options or delete_posts) is found before post deletion logic
-
Check for nonce validation on deletion actionsSearch the plugin code for wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer calls on functions that process post deletion requestsAffected if No nonce validation is present on deletion action handlers

From vendor dataUpdate to a patched version of the plugin once released, or implement proper WordPress capability checks and nonce validation on all post deletion functions to ensure only authorized users can perform bulk delete operations.
