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. Confirm Hotel Listing plugin is installed
    Access WordPress admin panel and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'hotel-listing' or similar e-plugins hotel listing package
    Affected if The plugin appears in the list of installed plugins
  2. Identify the installed version
    In WordPress admin, click on the plugin to view details and read the version number from the plugin header, or open the main plugin PHP file and look for the 'Version' comment in the file header
    Affected if Version displayed is 1.4.0 or any version below 1.4.0 (the vulnerable range is up to and including 1.4.0)
  3. Verify authenticated user accounts exist
    Navigate to WordPress Users menu and review the list of registered users
    Affected if Any user accounts beyond the primary administrator exist on the site (authenticated users of any role could potentially exploit this privilege escalation)
  4. Check for unexpected role changes
    Compare user roles in the Users panel against expected roles; look for users who have administrative or elevated privileges that were not intentionally assigned
    Affected if Users have higher privileges than what their assigned role should permit, indicating the vulnerability may have been exploited

If the Hotel Listing plugin versions up to 1.4.0 is installed and the site has multiple user accounts, the privilege escalation vulnerability is potentially present and could allow authenticated users to obtain administrative access.
