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. Locate the ListingPro theme installation
    Check your WordPress installation at /wp-content/themes/listingpro/ or view the theme in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes
    Affected if The listingpro theme folder exists in your WordPress themes directory
  2. Identify the installed version
    Open the theme's style.css file in the listingpro theme folder and look for the 'Version:' header in the file comments, or check via WordPress admin theme details panel
    Affected if The version number found is lower than 2.9.10 (e.g., 2.9.9, 2.8.x, etc.)
  3. Confirm the theme is active
    In WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes and verify ListingPro is the currently active theme
    Affected if ListingPro is active and the version is prior to 2.9.10
  4. Check for unauthorized access capability
    Review the theme's functionality files (functions.php, any plugin files included with the theme) for AJAX endpoints, admin pages, or callback functions that lack capability checks or nonce verification
    Affected if Sensitive functions are accessible without proper authorization checks and theme version is prior to 2.9.10
