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.
-
Verify Monetag Official plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'Monetag Official'. Note whether it is active and record the version displayed in the plugin details.Affected if The plugin is installed and active
-
Confirm the installed plugin versionClick on the Monetag Official plugin in the plugins list to view version details, or open the main plugin PHP file in wp-content/plugins/monetag-official/ and look for the Version header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The version cannot be verified as patched or is not listed
-
Audit user role access to plugin settingsNavigate to Users > Roles and Permissions (or use a role management plugin) to review which WordPress roles have access to Monetag plugin administrative functions. Check if subscriber-level or unauthenticated users are granted any Monetag capabilities.Affected if Low-privilege users (subscribers, contributors) or unauthenticated users have access to Monetag admin functions
-
Test for unauthorized admin page accessLog in with a non-administrator account (such as a subscriber) and attempt to directly access Monetag admin URLs (typically /wp-admin/admin.php?page=monetag*). Also try accessing any known Monetag plugin endpoints via curl without authentication.Affected if Non-administrator accounts can reach plugin admin pages or settings
-
Inspect plugin code for missing capability checksExamine the main plugin PHP files for admin action handlers and menu registrations. Look for add_action calls handling admin POST/GET requests, AJAX endpoints, or menu page registrations that do not include current_user_can() or similar authorization checks before executing.Affected if Admin actions or menu pages lack current_user_can() validation checks
If Monetag Official plugin is active and permits access to administrative functions or actions without proper capability verification, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2026-24551.
