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 YayExtra plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate YayCommerce YayExtra in the list of installed pluginsAffected if YayExtra plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Identify installed YayExtra versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins, find YayExtra and note the version number displayed under the plugin nameAffected if Installed version is 1.5.2 or lower (vulnerable); version 1.5.3 or higher contains the fix
-
Verify WordPress user role configurationCheck WordPress admin > Users > Add New > Default Role and review any custom roles created that may have elevated YayExtra capabilitiesAffected if Users are assigned roles that grant access to YayExtra functionality they should not have
-
Test unauthorized access to YayExtra featuresLog in with a low-privilege user account (subscriber or customer role) and attempt to access YayExtra admin pages or settings directly via URL (e.g., /wp-admin/admin.php?page=yayextra-settings)Affected if Low-privilege users can view or modify YayExtra settings without proper capability checks
-
Inspect YayExtra for missing capability checksIf you have file access, examine the plugin PHP files for action/filter hooks that handle sensitive operations and verify they include current_user_can() or similar authorization checksAffected if Any sensitive YayExtra functions lack proper current_user_can() validation before executing
You are affected if YayExtra plugin is installed and the version is 1.5.2 or lower, or if low-privilege users can access YayExtra functionality without proper authorization checks.
