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.
-
Verify s2Member plugin is installedCheck for the existence of the s2member plugin directory in wp-content/plugins/ or query the WordPress plugins API (wp plugin list)Affected if The s2Member plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Determine installed s2Member versionInspect the plugin's main PHP file header (usually s2member.php) or readme.txt for the 'Version' field; alternatively, query WordPress database wp_options for 's2member_plugin_version' optionAffected if The plugin version cannot be determined or is readable
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare your installed version number to the affected range: any version up to and including 250905 is vulnerable (e.g., 250905, 250820, 240615, 1.0 all affected)Affected if Installed version is 250905 or lower (note: version format may be date-based like YYMMDD)
-
Identify if dynamic code generation features are in useReview plugin settings for features that generate or execute code dynamically (such as custom PHP in membership pages, dynamic shortcode rendering, or custom role/capability generation); check s2Member configuration panels for any 'custom code' or 'PHP execution' options enabledAffected if Any feature allowing dynamic PHP code generation or execution is enabled in the plugin settings
The environment is affected if s2Member plugin is installed with any version up to and including 250905 and the vulnerable code generation feature is active or configurable by users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 s2Member to the latest version immediately. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Review user input handling and file operation code paths for injection points.
