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 > Plugins and locate 'Wow Company Counter Box' in the list of installed pluginsAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Check installed versionIn the Plugins list, look at the version number displayed beneath the plugin name 'Wow Company Counter Box'Affected if The version number is less than 2.0.6 (for example, 2.0.5, 2.0.4, etc.)
-
Inspect plugin for nonce implementationAccess the plugin files via FTP or File Manager, then examine PHP files in the plugin directory for the presence of wp_verify_nonce, check_ajax_referer, or wp_create_nonce function callsAffected if State-changing operations (forms, AJAX actions, settings saves) lack nonce verification code
-
Check form submissions for CSRF protectionReview plugin PHP files that handle form submissions or URL-based actions. Look for nonce field generation (wp_nonce_field) in HTML forms and subsequent validation (wp_verify_nonce) on submission handlingAffected if Forms or action handlers do not generate and validate nonces
-
Verify AJAX actions for CSRF protectionExamine any AJAX handlers in the plugin (files with wp_ajax_ or wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks) and confirm they call check_ajax_referer or wp_verify_nonce before processingAffected if AJAX action handlers lack nonce validation before executing state-changing operations
You are affected if the Wow Company Counter Box plugin is installed with a version below 2.0.6 AND state-changing operations in the plugin lack nonce verification or Origin/Referer header validation.
