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. Verify Master Addons for Elementor is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and confirm Master Addons for Elementor appears in the installed plugins list, or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/master-addons/ directory
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Master Addons for Elementor, view the version number displayed, or read version.php in the plugin directory
    Affected if Installed version matches any known affected version range for this CVE (compare against vendor release notes or security advisories)
  3. Identify active Master Addons widgets in use
    Review pages built with Elementor that use Master Addons elements, particularly any widgets that accept and display user-generated content or dynamic data
    Affected if Any Master Addons widgets that handle user input are active on published pages
  4. Inspect browser DOM for unauthorized script execution
    Open affected pages in a browser, right-click > Inspect > Console, and look for any script execution errors or injected scripts originating from Master Addons output
    Affected if Unsantized user input is reflected in the DOM without proper encoding, allowing script injection
  5. Check JavaScript data sinks in Master Addons code
    If you have code access, inspect the plugin JavaScript files for functions that write user input directly to innerHTML, document.write, or similar DOM manipulation methods without sanitization
    Affected if The plugin code contains direct DOM writes of user-supplied data without output encoding

The environment is affected if Master Addons for Elementor is installed, the version falls within the affected range, and any widget or module that processes and displays user input is actively used on the site.
