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.
-
Verify Mollie Payments for WooCommerce plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Mollie Payments for WooCommerce', or check the file /wp-content/plugins/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce/ for existenceAffected if plugin is not installed or not active, then not vulnerable to this specific plugin flaw
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin Plugins list, click on the plugin to view details and note the version number; alternatively check the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce.phpAffected if version is unpatched and falls within the vulnerable range (compare against published CVE details)
-
Identify AJAX endpoints used by the pluginSearch the plugin directory for wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks in PHP files, or inspect browser developer tools Network tab when using the plugin to see admin-ajax.php calls with mollie-related actionsAffected if AJAX endpoints exist that lack proper authorization checks (no current_user_capability or wp_verify_nonce calls)
-
Test AJAX endpoint accessibility without authenticationUsing curl or Burp Suite, send a request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with one of the identified mollie AJAX action names without providing authentication cookies or noncesAffected if request returns successful response or executes privileged actions without 401/403 error, indicating missing authorization
-
Review plugin PHP code for capability and nonce verificationExamine the plugin AJAX handler files for presence of current_user_can() or similar capability checks, and wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() for nonce validationAffected if code lacks both capability checks and nonce verification on sensitive endpoints
User is affected if the Mollie Payments for WooCommerce plugin is installed with a vulnerable version AND AJAX endpoints or admin actions are accessible without proper authorization checks.
