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. Identify if the OpenAI Chatbot for WordPress Helper plugin is installed
    In the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'OpenAI Chatbot for WordPress - Helper' or check the wp-content/plugins directory for a folder containing 'openai-chatbot' and 'helper' in the name
    Affected if The plugin is present on the site
  2. Determine the installed version of the plugin
    In the WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and click on the plugin to view its details, or inspect the main plugin PHP file for a 'Version:' header comment
    Affected if The version listed is 1.1.4 or lower, or no version is displayed and the plugin was last updated before the patch date
  3. Verify the deletion endpoint is reachable
    Check the plugin files for AJAX actions or REST API endpoints that handle content deletion (look for functions like wp_delete_post, wp_delete_attachment, or delete-related AJAX calls in the plugin PHP files)
    Affected if The plugin exposes a deletion function accessible without authentication (no current_user_can or similar capability check)

The site is affected if the OpenAI Chatbot for WordPress Helper plugin is installed and running version 1.1.4 or lower, as unauthenticated attackers can delete any content without validation.
