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. Locate the Sonaar plugin installation
    Check your WordPress wp-content/plugins directory for any folder containing 'sonaar' in the name. Common folder names include sonaar-music-streaming-audio, sonaar, or similar variations.
    Affected if The Sonaar plugin folder exists in the plugins directory
  2. Identify the installed Sonaar plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (such as the primary PHP file or readme.txt in the plugin folder) and locate the 'Version:' field in the file header, or view the plugin version directly in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The version displayed is 4.27.4 or lower (e.g., 4.27.3, 4.27.0, 4.26.5, etc.)
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and verify whether the Sonaar plugin is currently activated
    Affected if The plugin is both installed and activated, and the version is 4.27.4 or below

If the Sonaar WordPress plugin is installed with a version of 4.27.4 or below and is currently active, the environment is affected by this unauthenticated XSS vulnerability.
