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 ElementInvader Addons installation
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'ElementInvader Addons for Elementor'. Record the installed version number.
    Affected if Plugin is installed and no patched version is available for comparison based on current CVE data
  2. Review plugin access control settings
    Navigate to ElementInvader settings in WordPress admin. Look for access control, permission settings, or user role configuration options within the plugin settings panels.
    Affected if Access control settings are misconfigured or allow lower-privileged users to access privileged functionality
  3. Audit WordPress user roles with plugin access
    Go to Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Review which users have roles that include ElementInvader-specific capabilities or permissions.
    Affected if Low-privileged users (Subscribers, Contributors) have been granted elevated ElementInvader permissions
  4. Check AJAX endpoint authorization
    Examine plugin AJAX actions (typically found in network tab or source code under admin-ajax.php?action=). Verify if these endpoints perform proper capability checks before executing.
    Affected if AJAX endpoints execute privileged actions without verifying user authorization

User is affected if ElementInvader Addons is installed with any misconfiguration that allows unauthorized or lower-privileged users to access functionality intended for administrators or higher roles.
