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.
-
Identify if Masterstudy Elementor Widgets plugin is installedLocate the plugin in your WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ directory, or check via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed PluginsAffected if The Masterstudy Elementor Widgets plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Determine the installed version of the pluginIn WordPress admin, view the plugin details to see the version number, or check the main plugin PHP file for the version constantAffected if The installed version is 1.2.4 or any earlier version
-
Verify if sensitive admin functions are accessible to unauthenticated or low-privilege usersAttempt to access plugin endpoints that should require admin-level privileges (such as AJAX actions marked with admin privileges, or settings save functions) without proper authentication or using a low-privilege user accountAffected if Sensitive functions that should be restricted to administrators are accessible without proper authorization checks
-
Inspect plugin PHP files for missing capability checksReview the main plugin files (especially AJAX handlers, form processing, and settings functions) for the presence of current_user_can() or similar authorization checks before executing sensitive operationsAffected if No capability checks are found before sensitive operations, or checks are missing on specific AJAX actions or endpoints
-
Check if the plugin exposes sensitive data or actions via REST API or AJAXExamine the plugin's registered REST API routes and AJAX handlers using browser developer tools or by inspecting plugin code for add_action() calls on 'wp_ajax_' or 'rest_api_init' hooksAffected if The plugin exposes functionality intended for administrators without verifying user capabilities
