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 confidenceThis is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Rbs Image Gallery plugin for WordPress (versions 3.2.9 and below). The plugin lacks proper anti-CSRF tokens on admin actions, allowing attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended operations including modifying gallery hierarchies and toggling plugin activation status.

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.
-
Confirm plugin installationNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'Robogallery Robo Gallery' or 'Rbs Image Gallery' in the list and note the displayed version number.Affected if The plugin is installed and shows version below 3.2.11
-
Check plugin file version headerAccess the plugin directory via FTP or file manager (wp-content/plugins/). Open the main plugin PHP file (such as robo-gallery.php) and inspect the 'Version:' field in the plugin header comment block at the top of the file.Affected if The Version header in the plugin file is less than 3.2.11
-
Verify nonce implementation in admin actionsExamine the plugin PHP files for admin action handlers. Search for state-changing operations (gallery modifications, activation toggles) and check if they include nonce validation functions such as check_admin_referer(), wp_verify_nonce(), or nonce_field() before processing the request.Affected if State-changing admin actions lack nonce verification and rely only on user authentication without CSRF protection
You are affected if the Robogallery Robo Gallery plugin is installed with version 3.2.9 or below and admin actions do not validate anti-CSRF tokens before executing changes.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
