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 Craft CMS version fileCheck the composer.json file in the web root, or look for a version.php file in the craft/app/ directory (v3) or vendor/craftcms/cms/ (v4/v5)Affected if The installed version falls within the affected ranges: 3.0.0 to 3.9.14, 4.0.0 to 4.14.14, or 5.0.0 to 5.6.16
-
Check admin panel version displayLog into the Craft CMS control panel and navigate to Utilities > System Report, or check the footer of the admin dashboard for the version numberAffected if The displayed version is less than 3.9.15 (for v3), less than 4.14.15 (for v4), or less than 5.6.17 (for v5)
-
Query installed package version via ComposerRun `composer show craftcms/cms` in the project directory to display the installed version detailsAffected if The installed version matches the affected version ranges listed in the CVE
If your Craft CMS installation version is 3.9.14 or lower, 4.14.14 or lower, or 5.6.16 or lower, you are running a vulnerable version and should treat this as a critical priority.
