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. Check the installed version of Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce plugin
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find 'Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce' (or 'Sendinblue for WooCommerce') to view the current version number. Alternatively, read the main plugin file header in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-sendinblue/ or similar path.
    Affected if The installed version is 4.0.49 or earlier (versions prior to the fix)
  2. Identify if the plugin handles newsletter subscription AJAX endpoints
    Check the plugin directory for AJAX action handlers by searching for 'add_action' calls with 'wp_ajax' or 'wp_ajax_nopriv' hooks related to subscription functions. Examine the capability checks in those handlers.
    Affected if The plugin registers AJAX endpoints without proper capability checks or nonce validation for subscription-related actions
  3. Verify user role permissions on sensitive plugin functions
    Test whether low-privilege users (e.g., Subscriber role) can access plugin functions meant for administrators. Check if subscription settings, list management, or newsletter configuration is accessible to non-admin users.
    Affected if Users with subscriber or lower privileges can modify newsletter subscription settings or access plugin configuration without proper authorization
  4. Inspect plugin configuration for public-facing subscription forms
    Examine the WordPress site for frontend newsletter subscription forms or widgets provided by the plugin. Check if these forms submit to AJAX endpoints accessible to unauthenticated users.
    Affected if The plugin exposes subscription functionality accessible to unauthenticated visitors without capability verification

You are affected if the Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce plugin version is 4.0.49 or earlier and unauthenticated or low-privilege users can access or modify newsletter subscription settings through plugin AJAX endpoints.
