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.
-
Locate the eleopard Behance Portfolio Manager pluginCheck your WordPress plugins directory for a folder containing 'eleopard' or 'behance' in the name, typically at /wp-content/plugins/Affected if The plugin folder exists in your plugins directory
-
Identify the installed versionCheck the main plugin file (usually plugin-name.php) inside the plugin folder for a version comment or header, or look for a readme.txt file with version informationAffected if The version is 1.7.5 or lower, or no version is found (which may indicate an unpatched version)
-
Verify the plugin is activeLog into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or query the wp_options table for option_name = 'active_plugins' and check if the plugin is listedAffected if The plugin appears in the list of active plugins and is currently enabled
-
Check for CSRF protection on plugin formsInspect the HTML source of any forms generated by this plugin (typically in admin settings pages or public-facing portfolio displays) and look for a hidden input field containing a nonce or token valueAffected if Plugin forms lack a_csrf, _wpnonce, or similar token field in their HTML markup
-
Confirm stored XSS vulnerability existsSubmit a test payload containing a script tag (for example, <script>alert(1)</script>) through the plugin's submission forms or profile fields, then view the page where the input is displayed to see if the script executesAffected if The submitted content renders as raw HTML or executes JavaScript without sanitization or encoding
You are affected if the eleopard Behance Portfolio Manager plugin is installed, active, and at version 1.7.5 or lower, and its forms lack CSRF token protection allowing stored XSS injection.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing forms and endpoints, and apply proper input validation and output encoding to prevent stored XSS execution.
