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 SeedProd plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'SeedProd Coming Soon Page' or 'SeedProd' in the plugin list.
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list and is activated
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    In the plugin list, click on the plugin name or view the plugin files. The version number is typically displayed in the plugin header or on the plugin's main settings page.
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is older than the fixed version released for this CVE
  3. Test maintenance mode endpoint accessibility
    Use a tool like curl or Burp Suite to send a request to common SeedProd API endpoints (typically /wp-json/seedprod/v1/settings or similar /wp-json/seedprod/* endpoints) WITHOUT providing authentication credentials.
    Affected if The endpoint returns a successful response with maintenance mode settings or allows modification without requiring authentication (returns 200 OK instead of 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden)
  4. Inspect plugin capability checks
    Review the plugin's PHP source code, specifically looking for function calls like current_user_can(), wp_verify_nonce(), or REST API permission_callback definitions in the plugin's rest-api folder.
    Affected if The code shows missing or inadequate capability checks on endpoints that modify maintenance mode settings

A user is affected if the SeedProd Coming Soon Page plugin is installed and its maintenance mode or settings endpoints can be accessed or modified by unauthenticated users without proper authorization validation.
