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. Confirm plugin is installed
    Log in to WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder containing 'cost-estimation' or similar naming
    Affected if The WP Cost Estimation & Payment Forms Builder plugin is present in the installation
  2. Identify installed version
    In WordPress admin, find the plugin in the Plugins list and read the version number displayed beneath the plugin name, or open the main plugin PHP file and look for the 'Version' header comment in the plugin metadata
    Affected if A version number is found that is lower than 10.3.0
  3. Check WordPress users for unauthorized access
    Review WordPress user accounts in Users > All Users for any suspicious new accounts that may have been created by unauthenticated attackers exploiting the authorization flaw
    Affected if Unexpected user accounts exist that were not created by legitimate administrators
  4. Audit access logs for plugin-related endpoints
    Review web server access logs (Apache, Nginx) for requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or plugin-specific endpoints that originate from unknown IP addresses without prior authentication
    Affected if Unauthenticated requests to plugin functionality appear in logs
