Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

The plugin fails to implement proper anti-CSRF token validation when processing administrator requests to modify plugin settings, allowing remote attackers to trick authenticated administrators into unknowingly changing plugin configuration.

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.
-
Locate WP-Print plugin installationAccess your WordPress installation via FTP or file manager. Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and check for a folder named 'wp-print' or 'print'. Alternatively, log into WordPress admin and go to Plugins > Installed Plugins to find WP-Print in the list.Affected if The WP-Print plugin folder exists in the plugins directory or is listed in the WordPress admin plugins page.
-
Determine installed WP-Print versionIf in WordPress admin, view the plugin details from the Plugins page to see the version number. If via file access, open the main plugin file (usually wp-print.php or print.php) and look for the version comment/header at the top of the file.Affected if The displayed version number is 2.51 or lower, or if no version is visible but the file modification date suggests an older installation.
-
Confirm affected version rangeCompare the identified version against the known affected versions: 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 2.11, 2.20, 2.30, or any version 2.51 and below.Affected if The installed version matches any of these versions or is <= 2.51.
-
Verify plugin is active with admin accessIn WordPress admin, confirm the WP-Print plugin is activated. This CSRF flaw requires an authenticated administrator to access the Options settings page for the attack to succeed.Affected if The plugin is currently active and you have administrator-level access to the WordPress site.
Your environment is affected if the WP-Print plugin is installed with version 2.51 or lower and is active, as the CSRF vulnerability exists in the Options settings page processing.
