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 WP User Frontend plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory for the WP User Frontend plugin files, typically found in /wp-content/plugins/wp-user-frontend/ or search for 'wp-user-frontend' in the WordPress admin under PluginsAffected if The plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
-
Identify the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin file (usually wp-user-frontend.php) and locate the version comment in the file header, or check the WordPress plugin admin page which displays the installed versionAffected if The version number cannot be determined or is lower than the patched version
-
Review access control configuration settingsNavigate to WP User Frontend settings in WordPress admin panel and examine all access control, capability, and role settings under the plugin's configuration pagesAffected if Any user roles or capabilities are improperly configured allowing access beyond intended permissions

Check for publicly accessible frontend submission formsInspect any WP User Frontend post forms or submission pages that are accessible to unauthenticated or low-privilege users, verify if sensitive operations can be triggered without proper authorizationAffected if Forms or endpoints are accessible to unauthenticated users or users lacking proper authorization for the requested operation
-
Audit user role assignments and capabilitiesUse a user role editor or check WordPress user management to review which roles have WP User Frontend capabilities (such as 'wpuf_') assigned, and whether these assignments align with intended access levelsAffected if Users or roles have been granted capabilities that should require higher privilege levels
