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.
-
Verify LoginPress Pro is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a loginpress-pro folder, or view the installed plugins list in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed PluginsAffected if The loginpress-pro plugin folder exists and the plugin is active in WordPress
-
Check the installed LoginPress Pro versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find LoginPress Pro - the version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, open the main plugin file (loginpress-pro.php) and look for the 'Version:' header in the plugin comment blockAffected if The installed version is 6.2.2 or any version lower (e.g., 6.2.1, 6.2.0, etc.)
-
Audit WordPress user accounts for unauthorized administratorsIn WordPress admin, go to Users > All Users and review all accounts with Administrator role. Check the 'Registered' date for any accounts you did not create, especially those registered recently or around the time the vulnerability became knownAffected if There are admin-level accounts present that were not created by known administrators
-
Review server access logs for suspicious LoginPress requestsExamine web server access logs (Apache/nginx) for POST requests to LoginPress-related endpoints (such as /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with loginpress actions, or any custom LoginPress REST API routes) originating from external IPs without corresponding authenticated sessionsAffected if Logs show unusual POST requests to LoginPress endpoints from unknown IPs, especially if they result in user creation or role changes
A user is affected if LoginPress Pro version 6.2.2 or below is installed and active, or if unauthorized administrator accounts exist in the WordPress installation.

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 dataUpdate LoginPress Pro to a version newer than 6.2.2. If an update is unavailable, disable the plugin immediately and monitor for unauthorized admin account creation.
