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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Premium SEO Pack plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'AA-Team Premium SEO Pack' in the list of active or installed plugins.
    Affected if Plugin is present in the plugins directory regardless of activation status
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    In the plugins list, locate Premium SEO Pack. The version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/premium-seo-pack/ folder via file manager or FTP by reading the main plugin PHP file.
    Affected if Version is 3.3.2 or lower
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, verify the plugin status shows 'Active'. SQL injection requires the vulnerable code to be loaded and processing requests.
    Affected if Plugin is currently active and handling HTTP requests
  4. Inspect plugin for suspicious admin users or database anomalies
    Check WordPress users list for unknown administrator accounts created via SQL injection. Run database query: SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login NOT IN ('admin', 'your_known_admin') AND user_registered > '2025-01-01'; Also check wp_options for unfamiliar entries.
    Affected if Unknown admin accounts exist or unusual database entries are found indicating potential exploitation

Environment is affected if Premium SEO Pack plugin version 3.3.2 or lower is installed and active in WordPress, exposing unsanitized SQL input vectors.
