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 is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and look for 'User Sync ActiveCampaign' in the installed plugins list, or check for the plugin directory in wp-content/plugins/ containing 'activecampaign' or 'user-sync' in the name
    Affected if The plugin appears in the WordPress installation's plugin list
  2. Check installed version number
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, click on the plugin to view its details and read the version number displayed, or open the main plugin PHP file and locate the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if The displayed version is 1.3.2 or lower
  3. Verify version is within vulnerable range
    Compare the found version against the affected range: any version 1.3.2 or below is vulnerable
    Affected if Installed version is less than or equal to 1.3.2
  4. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, verify the 'User Sync ActiveCampaign' plugin shows as 'Active' or 'Enabled'
    Affected if Plugin status is Active - the vulnerability is only exploitable when the plugin is enabled
