Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

The College publisher Import WordPress plugin through 0.1 does not check for the uploaded CSV file to import, allowing high privilege users to upload arbitrary files, such as PHP, leading to RCE. Due to the lack of CSRF check, the issue could also be exploited via a CSRF attack.
