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. Locate the Eventer plugin installation
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) or view installed plugins in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins for 'Eventer' or 'Eventer - All In One Event Calendar' by imithemes
    Affected if Eventer plugin is present in the installation
  2. Identify the installed version
    In WordPress admin, click on the Eventer plugin to view its details, or check the main plugin file (e.g., eventer.php) for the 'Version:' header comment, or query via WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name=eventer
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is below 3.9.9.1
  3. Compare against the fixed version
    Compare the installed version number to 3.9.9.1 using standard version comparison
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 3.9.9.1 (e.g., 3.9.9, 3.9.8, 3.8.x, etc.)
  4. Verify plugin is active
    In WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, confirm the Eventer plugin is currently activated
    Affected if Plugin is activated and version is below 3.9.9.1

The environment is affected if the Eventer plugin by imithemes is installed, activated, and running a version lower than 3.9.9.1.
