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. Identify if SMS Alert plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory for the 'sms-alert' folder at wp-content/plugins/sms-alert/ or view the installed plugins in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The SMS Alert Order Notifications plugin by Cozy Vision is present in the plugins directory
  2. Check installed plugin version
    View the plugin file header (usually in sms-alert/readme.txt or sms-alert/sms-alert.php) to find the Version field, or check the plugin details in WordPress admin plugins list
    Affected if The installed version is 3.8.5 or any version prior to the patched release
  3. Verify order notification configuration
    Navigate to SMS Alert settings in WordPress admin (usually under WooCommerce > SMS Alert or Settings > SMS Alert) and examine the order notification parameters for any custom fields that accept user input
    Affected if Order notification settings contain custom parameters or fields that accept user-supplied input without visible sanitization indicators
  4. Inspect database for suspicious activity
    Review database tables (particularly those related to orders and SMS logs) for unusual query patterns, unexpected data, or signs of data exfiltration by checking MySQL slow query logs or general logs if enabled
    Affected if Unusual SQL queries appear in logs or unexpected data exists in order-related tables indicating potential exploitation

You are affected if the Cozy Vision SMS Alert plugin versions through 3.8.5 is installed and order notification parameters accept unsanitized user input.
