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.

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 Analytify plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Analytify - Google Analytics Dashboard' or check the plugins directory for the analytify folder
    Affected if The Analytify plugin is present on the WordPress site
  2. Identify the installed Analytify version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find Analytify, and view the version number displayed under the plugin name
    Affected if The installed version is 4.2.2 or below (versions prior to 4.2.3)
  3. Confirm admin authentication is possible
    Check if any WordPress user with Administrator role exists and can access the Analytify settings pages at Analytify > Settings or Analytify > Dashboard
    Affected if Authenticated administrators can access the plugin admin panels
  4. Assess CSRF token implementation (optional manual check)
    Inspect page source of Analytify admin pages using browser developer tools. Look for 'wp_create_nonce' or 'nonce' hidden field values in forms that modify plugin settings
    Affected if Forms lack nonce tokens or do not verify request origin (this requires code review of the plugin files)

You are affected if the Analytify plugin is installed with version 4.2.2 or below and administrators can access the plugin admin panels, as the missing CSRF protection allows malicious requests to be forged.
