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. Verify Easy Code Snippets plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Easy Code Snippets' by Alpha BPO in the installed plugins list
    Affected if Plugin is not present in the plugins list
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin details link for Easy Code Snippets and view the Version field displayed there
    Affected if Version displayed is 1.0.2 or lower
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, check the status column next to Easy Code Snippets - it should indicate 'Active' if the plugin is currently running
    Affected if Plugin is active and version is 1.0.2 or lower
  4. Inspect plugin database query code
    Access the plugin files via FTP or file manager in wp-content/plugins/easy-code-snippets and examine PHP files for $wpdb->prepare, $wpdb->query, or similar database calls that accept user-supplied input without using $wpdb->prepare() or esc_sql() for sanitization
    Affected if Plugin code contains direct user input in SQL queries without sanitization and version is 1.0.2 or lower

User is affected if the Easy Code Snippets plugin is installed, active, and running at version 1.0.2 or below with unsanitized database queries present in the plugin code
