dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Fusion Builder version via WordPress adminLog into WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'Fusion Builder' and read the version number displayed under the plugin nameAffected if Version displayed is below 3.15.0 or no version number is shown (meaning it is an unpatched release)
