Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Addify Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce plugin contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows authenticated or possibly unauthenticated attackers to upload executable files (PHP scripts) through the user registration fields functionality. These uploaded files can be executed as web shells, providing complete remote code execution on the server.

MitigationUpdate 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.

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 the Addify Custom User Registration Fields plugin is installed
    Navigate 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
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    In 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 block
    Affected if The version number cannot be determined or is lower than the patched version published by the vendor
  3. Inspect upload directories for suspicious PHP files
    Examine 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 .php
    Affected if Any PHP files exist in upload directories that were not intentionally placed there by administrators
  4. Check for recently created or modified PHP files in web root
    Use 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 calls
    Affected if Unexpected PHP files exist that were created recently and contain suspicious encoding or system command functions
  5. Review web server access logs for file upload patterns
    Search 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 parameters
    Affected 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.
