Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Restaurant Menu – Food Ordering System – Table Reservation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.3.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several functions called via AJAX actions such as forms_action, set_option, & chosen_options to name a few . This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform a variety of administrative actions like modifying forms, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

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.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Restaurant Menu – Food Ordering System – Table Reservation WordPress plugin versions up to 2.3.1 lacks proper nonce validation on multiple AJAX action handlers (forms_action, set_option, chosen_options). This allows unauthenticated attackers to forge administrative requests by tricking logged-in site administrators into clicking malicious links, enabling unauthorized modification of plugin settings and forms.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 2.3.1 which includes proper nonce validation on AJAX handlers. Until then, avoid clicking untrusted links while logged into the WordPress admin panel.

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. Check if the Restaurant Menu plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Restaurant Menu - Food Ordering System - Table Reservation', or inspect the plugin directory wp-content/plugins/ for a folder containing 'restaurant-menu' or similar naming
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin Plugins list, click on the plugin name to view its details and version number, or read the main plugin PHP file header for 'Version:' tag
    Affected if Version is 2.3.1 or lower (vulnerable range is < 2.3.2)
  3. Test AJAX endpoint accessibility
    Check if the WordPress site responds to admin-ajax.php requests with action parameters: forms_action, set_option, or chosen_options. Send a request like: https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=forms_action
    Affected if The AJAX endpoints respond and accept parameters without requiring valid nonce validation (an attacker could trigger these without authentication if they can trick a logged-in admin)
  4. Inspect AJAX handler code for nonce validation
    Locate the plugin PHP files handling AJAX actions (forms_action, set_option, chosen_options) and examine if they call wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer before processing requests
    Affected if The AJAX handlers lack proper nonce verification logic (no wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer calls present)
  5. Verify plugin configuration exposure
    Review if plugin settings and form data can be modified via the vulnerable AJAX actions by an unauthenticated request when triggered through a logged-in admin session
    Affected if Settings or form content can be altered without proper authentication tokens

You are affected if the Restaurant Menu plugin versions 2.3.1 or below are installed and the AJAX handlers for forms_action, set_option, or chosen_options lack proper nonce validation checks.
