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 WPLMS plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'WPLMS' or 'Vibethemes Wordpress Learning Management System' in the list of active pluginsAffected if WPLMS plugin is not installed or not active, the vulnerability does not apply
-
Check installed WPLMS versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find WPLMS, and note the version number displayed. Alternatively, check the version in the plugin's main PHP file header (typically wp-content/plugins/wplms/lms.php or similar)Affected if Version is 1.9.9.5.4 or lower; if version shows 1.9.9.5.5 or higher, the version may be patched
-
Identify if plugin processes user-supplied inputReview plugin settings and templates where user-generated content is displayed (such as course descriptions, assignment submissions, profile fields, or comments). Check if any of these accept and render input without visible sanitization in the frontend HTML sourceAffected if User input from course content, assignments, profiles, or comments is rendered directly in page HTML without encoding - this is the vulnerable condition for DOM XSS
-
Inspect browser DOM for unsanitized outputVisit a page where user input is displayed (e.g., course page, user profile), right-click > Inspect Element, and search for user-supplied text in the page source. Look for unescaped HTML characters like <, >, or quotes in attributesAffected if User-supplied text appears as raw HTML or JavaScript in the page source without entity encoding (e.g., appears as <script> rather than <script>)
Environment is affected if WPLMS plugin version is 1.9.9.5.4 or lower and the plugin processes and displays user input in web pages without proper output encoding.

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 proper input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data before DOM rendering; update to patched version if available from vendor.
