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 Barn2 Posts Table plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Barn2 Posts Table with Search & Sort' or check the plugin files in /wp-content/plugins/ for the posts-table-with-search-sort directoryAffected if The plugin is installed and active, as this is a missing authorization vulnerability affecting the plugin itself
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find Barn2 Posts Table with Search & Sort, and note the version number displayedAffected if The installed version is 1.4.10 or lower (the vulnerability affects versions through 1.4.10)
-
Check for publicly accessible AJAX actionsReview the site's public AJAX endpoints (typically /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) and check if any Barn2 Posts Table-related AJAX actions are accessible to unauthenticated users. Use a tool to enumerate AJAX actions and verify if they require user capability checksAffected if AJAX actions from this plugin are accessible to users who lack proper authorization (non-admin users or unauthenticated users can access admin-level functionality)
-
Review plugin capability checksIf you have access to the plugin source code, search for current_user_can, wp_verify_nonce, and check_admin_referer calls within the plugin's PHP files to verify authorization is properly enforced before sensitive operationsAffected if The plugin lacks proper current_user_can() checks or nonce verification before executing sensitive operations
A user is affected if the Barn2 Posts Table with Search & Sort plugin version 1.4.10 or lower is installed and the plugin exposes functionality that can be accessed without proper authorization verification.
