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.
-
Locate the CRM Perks Integration plugin filesCheck your WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'crmperks-integration' or similar, and open the main plugin PHP file to view the plugin header which contains the version numberAffected if The plugin version listed in the header is 1.2.2 or lower
-
Verify the installed version against affected rangeCompare the version found in the plugin header to the affected range: any version less than or equal to 1.2.2 is vulnerableAffected if The version displayed is 1.2.2 or any earlier version number such as 1.2.1, 1.2.0, or 1.0.0
-
Confirm the plugin is currently activeIn the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and check whether the CRM Perks Integration plugin is activatedAffected if The plugin shows as Active and the version is 1.2.2 or below - only active installations with vulnerable versions can be exploited
-
Check for CSRF protection implementationExamine the plugin source code for nonce verification by searching for 'wp_verify_nonce', 'check_admin_referer', or 'check_ajax_referer' functions used in form submissions and admin action handlersAffected if No nonce verification is found in the plugin code handling form submissions or admin actions, indicating CSRF protection is missing
Your environment is affected if the CRM Perks Integration plugin for Contact Form 7 and Zoho CRM/Bigin is installed, active, and running version 1.2.2 or lower without proper nonce/CSRF token validation in its action handlers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the plugin to version 1.2.3 or later which includes anti-CSRF token implementation; alternatively, ensure all form submissions and admin actions include proper nonce verification and SameSite cookie attributes.
