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.
-
Confirm plugin installationCheck WordPress plugins directory for 'duplicate-page-and-post' folder, or list installed plugins via wp-cli: wp plugin list --name='duplicate-page-and-post'Affected if Plugin folder or listing not found means not installed
-
Identify installed versionCheck plugin main file header for Version, typically in wp-content/plugins/duplicate-page-and-post/duplicate-page.php, or run: wp plugin get duplicate-page-and-post --format=jsonAffected if Version 2.9.5 or lower indicates potentially vulnerable; version higher than 2.9.5 is likely patched
-
Verify plugin is activeCheck plugin status via WordPress admin, or run: wp plugin status duplicate-page-and-postAffected if Plugin is active and version is 2.9.5 or lower means directly vulnerable to unauthenticated exploitation
-
Inspect HTTP request logsReview web server access logs for requests to WordPress admin-ajax.php or the plugin endpoints containing unusual SQL syntax in query parametersAffected if SQL injection payloads present in request logs targeting this plugin indicates attempted or successful exploitation
Environment is affected if the Duplicate Page and Post plugin is installed, active, and running version 2.9.5 or lower.
