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.
-
Confirm the Addify Custom User Registration Fields plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Addify Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce' in the installed plugins list, or inspect the wp-content/plugins directory for a folder containing 'addify-custom-user-registration'Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list or filesystem
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin name to view its details and version number, or read the main plugin PHP file and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment blockAffected if The version number cannot be determined or is lower than the patched version published by the vendor
-
Inspect upload directories for suspicious PHP filesExamine the wp-content/uploads directory and any custom upload paths configured in the plugin. Look for files with .php extensions, especially those with names like shell.php, backdoor.php, or random alphanumeric strings ending in .phpAffected if Any PHP files exist in upload directories that were not intentionally placed there by administrators
-
Check for recently created or modified PHP files in web rootUse the command 'find /var/www/html -name "*.php" -mtime -30' (adjust path to match web root) to list PHP files modified within the last 30 days, then review each for suspicious code patterns such as base64_decode, eval, shell_exec, or system callsAffected if Unexpected PHP files exist that were created recently and contain suspicious encoding or system command functions
-
Review web server access logs for file upload patternsSearch access logs (typically in /var/log/nginx or /var/log/apache2) for POST requests to /wp-content/uploads/ containing .php file extensions, or requests to the plugin registration endpoint that include file upload parametersAffected if POST requests from unknown sources are logged uploading .php files to upload directories
A user is affected if the Addify Custom User Registration Fields plugin is installed AND the version is below the patched version released by Addify, OR if unauthorized PHP files exist in upload directories indicating exploitation.

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 dataUpdate to the latest patched version of the plugin immediately. If no patch is available, disable and remove the plugin. Conduct a forensic investigation to check for any existing web shells or backdoors already uploaded to the server.
