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 AnyTrack plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager' or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for an anytrack folderAffected if The AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager plugin is present on the WordPress site
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin_plugins list, click on the AnyTrack plugin to view details, or inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/anytrack/anytrack.php for the 'Version' fieldAffected if Unable to determine the version or version is unknown
-
Check for exposed AJAX endpointsInspect the plugin directory for AJAX action handlers - look in any php files for 'add_action( 'wp_ajax_' ' or 'add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' calls, and list all registered AJAX actions using a site health or plugin audit toolAffected if The plugin registers AJAX endpoints accessible without proper capability checks
-
Test unauthenticated access to plugin functionalityUse a browser or curl to access common AnyTrack AJAX endpoints (typically /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=anytrack_*) without logging in, checking for successful responses that should require authenticationAffected if AJAX endpoints return valid data or execute actions without authentication
-
Verify authorization on admin functionsReview plugin PHP files for sensitive functions (settings, link management, tracking operations) and check if they include current_user_can(), nonce verification, or is_user_logged_in() checks before executionAffected if Sensitive functions lack authorization validation checks
A user is affected if the AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager plugin is installed and its AJAX endpoints or sensitive functions can be accessed or executed by unauthenticated or unauthorized users without proper capability checks.
