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 plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'UPI QR Code Payment Gateway' or 'UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce'. Note the installed version displayed next to the plugin name.Affected if Plugin is installed and version shows 1.6.2 or lower
-
Check plugin version via file inspectionIf admin access is unavailable, inspect the main plugin file (typically wp-content/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/upi-qr-cod-gateway.php or similar) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if Version header reads 1.6.2 or lower (e.g., 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.0, etc.)
-
Identify sensitive admin AJAX endpointsExamine plugin PHP files for AJAX action hooks (add_action('wp_ajax_...')) or admin action hooks that handle payment data or settings. Look for functions that process payments, update settings, or access order data without current_user_can() or capability checks.Affected if AJAX or admin actions exist that process sensitive data without proper capability/authorization validation
-
Test endpoint accessibility from customer roleIf feasible, create a test customer account and attempt to access any known plugin admin URLs or AJAX endpoints directly (e.g., via curl or browser). Check if the plugin returns unexpected privileged data or functions.Affected if Customer-level user can access admin functions, view payment data, or execute administrative actions they should not be authorized to perform
Your environment is affected if the UPI QR Code Payment Gateway WooCommerce plugin is installed with version 1.6.2 or lower, and sensitive endpoints or functions lack proper role-based access control checks.

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 to a version newer than 1.6.2 if available, or implement proper role-based access control checks and authorization validation on all sensitive endpoints within the plugin.
