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. Confirm plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'User Registration Using Contact Form 7' in the list. Note whether it is active or inactive.
    Affected if The plugin is active and the vulnerable version (2.4 or earlier) is in use
  2. Identify installed version
    Click 'View Details' on the plugin in the WordPress plugins page, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/user-registration-cf7/readme.txt or the main plugin PHP file for the Version: field.
    Affected if The installed version is 2.4 or earlier (or any version prior to the patched release)
  3. Check if user registration forms are configured
    Navigate to the plugin settings or check your Contact Form 7 forms for any that have user registration actions enabled. Look for form configurations that create or modify WordPress user accounts.
    Affected if Active Contact Form 7 forms are configured with user registration actions and the vulnerable plugin version is in use
  4. Inspect form submissions for CSRF protection
    Examine the HTML source of any front-end user registration form generated by the plugin. Look for a hidden input field containing a 'nonce' value (often named '_wpnonce' or similar) and verify the form submits this token.
    Affected if The registration forms lack nonce/CSRF token fields or the submitted forms do not validate a nonce on the server side

You are affected if the User Registration Using Contact Form 7 plugin is active at version 2.4 or earlier AND has user registration forms configured that lack CSRF protection mechanisms.
