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.
-
Confirm plugin installationNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'Classic Widgets with Block-based Widgets' in the list. Note the installed version displayed.Affected if The plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
