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 Obox Themes Launchpad – Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode plugin <= 1.0.13 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 · moderate confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Obox Themes Launchpad WordPress plugin allows remote attackers to induce authenticated administrators to perform unwanted actions by tricking them into submitting malicious requests. The plugin lacks proper nonce validation on sensitive actions.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) for all state-changing operations and ensure proper referer/Origin header validation on admin actions.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 Obox Launchpad plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Obox Launchpad - Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode' or check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for an 'obox-launchpad' folder
    Affected if The plugin is present in the plugins directory
  2. Verify the installed version number
    In WordPress admin > Plugins page, click on the plugin to view details, or open the main plugin PHP file and read the 'Version:' header comment
    Affected if The version is 1.0.13 or lower
  3. Inspect plugin code for nonce validation on admin actions
    Examine the main plugin PHP file - search for admin action handlers (functions processing GET/POST requests) and verify if they call check_admin_referer(), wp_verify_nonce(), or similar nonce validation functions before processing state-changing operations
    Affected if Admin action functions that modify settings or perform sensitive operations lack nonce verification calls

The environment is affected if the Obox Launchpad plugin version 1.0.13 or lower is installed and the plugin code does not implement nonce validation on state-changing admin actions, allowing CSRF attacks to succeed
