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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed theme versionLocate the G5Plus April theme directory (wp-content/themes/april/) and check the version in style.css header or version.php fileAffected if version is 6.8 or lower (any version through 6.8)
-
Verify theme is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes and confirm the April theme is activatedAffected if the April theme is currently active on the site
-
Identify AJAX handlers in themeSearch theme files (especially functions.php and any ajax*.php files in includes/ or admin/ folders) for wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ action hooksAffected if AJAX handlers exist that handle sensitive operations (settings, user data, content changes)
-
Inspect AJAX handlers for capability checksReview each AJAX handler callback function for presence of current_user_can() or similar WordPress capability verification before executing sensitive logicAffected if any sensitive AJAX handler lacks proper current_user_can() capability validation
-
Check admin action handlersSearch theme for add_action('admin_init') or admin_page hooks and verify they include capability checks before performing settings changes or data modificationsAffected if admin action handlers perform security-sensitive operations without verifying user capabilities
User is affected if the April theme version is 6.8 or lower and the theme contains AJAX or admin handlers that process sensitive operations without verifying the user has administrator-level capabilities.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks on all sensitive operations and functionality within the theme, ensuring that access control security levels are correctly configured and enforced for all user roles.
