Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

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 installation and activation statusNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and check if 'M.Code Bulk Menu Edit' is installed and activeAffected if The plugin is installed and active with version 1.3 or lower
-
Identify installed plugin versionAccess the plugin files via FTP or file manager, open the main plugin PHP file (usually bulk-menu-edit.php or similar) and locate the version constant/header commentAffected if Version returned is 1.3 or lower, or if the version cannot be determined but the plugin is present
-
Verify bulk menu edit functionality exposureCheck if the plugin's bulk edit admin page is accessible by visiting the admin menu path (typically under Appearance > Bulk Menu Edit or similar). Note whether access is granted without proper capability verificationAffected if The bulk menu edit interface loads without requiring users to have manage_options or elevated menu management capabilities
-
Test unauthorized menu modification capabilityIf accessible, attempt to add, remove, or modify menu items through the plugin's bulk edit feature while logged in as a low-privilege user (e.g., subscriber or editor role without menu management rights)Affected if Low-privilege users can successfully modify menus without receiving an authorization error
Your environment is affected if the M.Code Bulk Menu Edit plugin version 1.3 or lower is installed and active, and the bulk edit functionality is accessible to users lacking proper menu management capabilities.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper capability checks and nonce validation on all menu modification actions. Add role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only users with appropriate privileges (e.g., manage_options) can access bulk edit functionality.
