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
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in PeepSo Community by PeepSo – Social Network, Membership, Registration, User Profiles plugin <= 6.0.2.0 versions.

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

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the PeepSo Community WordPress plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions, such as modifying user settings, profile changes, or other community actions, by leveraging the lack of proper token validation on sensitive form submissions.

MitigationUpdate the PeepSo Community plugin to a version newer than 6.0.2.0 which includes proper CSRF token validation; alternatively, implement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing form actions and validate them server-side.

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 PeepSo plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress installation for the PeepSo Community plugin in wp-content/plugins/ or via the WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if PeepSo Community plugin is present and active in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed PeepSo version
    Locate the main plugin file (usually peepso.php) and read the Version header, or check via WordPress admin Plugins list, or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name=peepso --format=table
    Affected if The plugin version cannot be determined or is displayed as less than 6.0.3.0
  3. Compare version against vulnerability range
    Compare the installed version number to the affected range: any version below 6.0.3.0 is vulnerable
    Affected if Installed version is 6.0.2.0, 6.0.1.0, 6.0.0.0, or any earlier version
  4. Inspect form handling for CSRF protection (optional)
    Examine plugin source code files handling form submissions (look for files in classes/ or actions/ directories) and check if $_POST or $_GET requests include and validate a nonce/token field
    Affected if Form submission handlers lack nonce verification or do not call wp_verify_nonce() / wp_create_nonce()

A WordPress site running PeepSo Community plugin version 6.0.2.0 or lower is affected by this CSRF vulnerability.
