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 Paymob for WooCommerce is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'Paymob for WooCommerce' in the list.
    Affected if Paymob for WooCommerce plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and click on 'Paymob for WooCommerce' to view the version number displayed in the plugin details, or inspect the plugin's main PHP file (usually paymob-for-woocommerce.php) which contains a version comment or defined version constant.
    Affected if Version displayed is 4.1.2 or lower
  3. Compare version against the vulnerable range
    Review the version number found in step 2. Compare it numerically: versions 4.1.2, 4.1.1, 4.1.0, 4.0.x, 3.x and earlier are all within the vulnerable range.
    Affected if Installed version is 4.1.2 or any version number lower than 4.1.2
  4. Test unauthenticated access to plugin endpoints
    Using a tool like curl or Burp Suite, send requests to common Paymob plugin endpoints (such as /?wc-api=paymob_callback or /wp-json/paymob/v1/) without providing any authentication cookies or credentials.
    Affected if Requests are processed without requiring authentication (HTTP 200 response with sensitive data or action execution)

A user is affected if Paymob for WooCommerce version 4.1.2 or below is installed and the plugin endpoints are accessible without authentication.
