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 the plugin installation
    Locate the 'print-invoice-delivery-notes' or 'woocommerce-delivery-notes' folder in wp-content/plugins/ directory, or query the WordPress plugins API: GET /wp-json/wp/v2/plugins?search=invoice
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress/WooCommerce
  2. Determine the installed version
    Check the main plugin PHP file for the 'Version' header comment, or query: GET /wp-json/wp/v2/plugins?search=invoice (response field 'version')
    Affected if Version is lower than 5.8.1 or cannot be determined (unknown versions may still be vulnerable)
  3. Identify the vulnerable endpoints
    Common endpoints for this plugin include: /?print_delivery_note=true, /?action=print_delivery_note, /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-delivery-notes/print/print.php, or similar paths under /?page=wc_delivery_notes&printInvoice=true
    Affected if Endpoints exist and respond to requests (plugin is installed)
  4. Test endpoint authorization
    Send unauthenticated HTTP requests to the identified print/download endpoints (e.g., curl -I 'https://SITE/?print_delivery_note=1') and verify if the server returns invoice/delivery note data without requiring login credentials
    Affected if Unauthenticated requests return invoice or delivery note content (200 OK with PDF/HTML containing order data) instead of redirecting to login or returning 401/403
  5. Verify access control configuration
    Check plugin settings in WooCommerce > Settings > Print Invoice & Delivery Notes (or similar) for any 'Access Permission' or 'User Role' settings that may be misconfigured to 'Anyone' or left undefined
    Affected if Access control is set to allow public/unauthenticated access, or no role restriction is configured

A user is affected if the Print Invoice & Delivery Notes plugin is installed with a version below 5.8.1 AND the print/download endpoints are accessible without authentication, allowing unauthorized access to invoice or delivery note documents.
