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.
-
Locate installed Kadence Blocks versionAccess WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find 'Kadence Blocks - Gutenberg Blocks with AI', and note the version number displayedAffected if The version shown is lower than 3.3.2 (e.g., 3.3.1, 3.3.0, earlier versions)
-
Verify WordPress user role configurationGo to Users > All Users in WordPress admin and review the role assignments for accounts on the site, particularly checking if any low-privilege users (subscriber, contributor) existAffected if Low-privilege users exist and the plugin version is below 3.3.2, making unauthorized access more likely
-
Inspect plugin file headers for version confirmationVia file manager or FTP, navigate to wp-content/plugins/kadence-blocks and open the main plugin file (usually kadence-blocks.php) to read the Version headerAffected if The Version header value is less than 3.3.2
-
Audit plugin AJAX endpoints for capability checksExamine plugin PHP files in includes/ or src/ directories for AJAX action handlers (wp_ajax_ hooks) and verify if they include current_user_can checks before executing privileged operationsAffected if Any AJAX endpoints found lack current_user_can or similar capability validation and plugin version is below 3.3.2
-
Review REST API routes exposed by the pluginUse a REST API browser or check plugin registration files for WP_REST_Controller subclasses and their permission_callback functions, looking for routes that may permit unauthorized accessAffected if REST endpoints lack proper permission_callback checks and plugin version is below 3.3.2
The environment is affected if the installed Kadence Blocks version is below 3.3.2 and the site has user accounts with roles that should not have access to privileged plugin functionality.
