Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

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 the plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins) for a folder named similar to 'all-bootstrap-blocks' or search the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins for 'All Bootstrap Blocks'Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Determine the installed versionOpen the plugin's main PHP file in the plugin folder and locate the 'Version:' header comment in the file's plugin metadata, or check the version listed in the WordPress admin plugins pageAffected if The version number displayed is 1.3.28 or lower (any version up to and including 1.3.28)
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the installed version found in the previous step against the known affected range: versions 1.0.0 through 1.3.28 are vulnerableAffected if The installed version is 1.3.28 or any earlier version number
-
Audit WordPress user accountsNavigate to Users > All Users in the WordPress admin dashboard and review the list for any unexpected administrator accounts that you did not create, paying special attention to recently added users with admin rolesAffected if Unexpected or unauthorized administrator-level accounts exist in the user database
-
Review role and capability settingsIf you have access to the database, query the wp_options table for option_name values related to the plugin (e.g., options containing 'all_bootstrap_blocks') and examine any stored capability or access control configurations for unexpected valuesAffected if Plugin-stored settings show unusual permission configurations or grant elevated capabilities to low-level users
Your environment is affected if the All Bootstrap Blocks plugin is installed and its version is 1.3.28 or lower, or if unauthorized admin accounts appear in your WordPress user database.
