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. Verify plugin presence
    Log into your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'Membership For WooCommerce' by WP Swings in the list.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active in your WordPress environment.
  2. Identify installed version
    In the Plugins list, find the Membership For WooCommerce entry. The version number is displayed below the plugin name. Compare this to the latest version available on the WordPress plugin repository or vendor site.
    Affected if Your installed version is older than the latest patched version released by WP Swings.
  3. Review membership ACL settings
    Navigate to WooCommerce > Memberships (or the plugin's settings area). Check the Access Control List (ACL) or capability settings that control which user roles can access membership data, manage memberships, or view sensitive member information.
    Affected if ACL settings allow unauthenticated users or low-privilege roles (like Subscriber) to access membership functions or view member data.
  4. Inspect API/rest endpoint permissions
    If your site exposes REST API endpoints for the membership plugin (check via /wp-json/ or plugin documentation), verify that endpoint permissions require proper authentication and capability checks. Look for endpoints under the membership namespace.
    Affected if API endpoints related to membership data are accessible without authentication or accept requests from unauthenticated users.
  5. Check for unauthorized membership access
    Review your membership logs, access logs, or user activity records for any membership-related actions performed by users without proper roles, or by unauthenticated requests. Look for membership CRUD operations from unexpected sources.
    Affected if Membership data was accessed, created, modified, or deleted by users lacking proper administrative or membership manager roles.

You are affected if the WP Swings Membership For WooCommerce plugin is installed and the installed version lacks the authorization fix, allowing unauthenticated or low-privilege users to access membership functionality.
