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.
-
Confirm plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin Dashboard > Plugins, or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder containing 'sprout-invoices', 'boldgrid-invoices', or similar naming patterns.Affected if The BoldGrid Client Invoicing or Sprout Invoices plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
-

-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the retrieved version number against the affected range: any version <= 20.8.1 is considered vulnerable.Affected if Installed version is 20.8.1 or any earlier version number.
-
Inspect plugin access control settingsReview the plugin settings under the plugin menu in WordPress admin, or inspect the plugin code for role-based access control (RBAC) configurations. Look for any settings controlling who can access invoicing functions, create invoices, or view financial data.Affected if The plugin exposes invoicing functions, data, or administrative actions without proper role verification or allows low-privilege users to access restricted features.
