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 闪电博 WordPress plugin (version through 4.2.7) allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions such as modifying plugin settings or triggering automated search engine submission requests without their consent.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing operations, validate the Origin/Referer headers, and add SameSite cookie attributes. For WordPress plugins, use wp_nonce_field() and check_admin_referer() for form submissions and AJAX actions.

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. Confirm Wbolt All In One Search plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'All In One Search Automatic Push Management' by Wbolt, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder starting with 'wbolt' or 'all-in-one-search'
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In Plugins > Installed Plugins, click 'View Details' on the Wbolt plugin, or open /wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/readme.txt and check the 'Stable tag' line
    Affected if Version is 4.2.7 or any lower version number
  3. Inspect plugin admin pages for nonce implementation
    Using a file editor or grep, search the plugin PHP files in /wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/ for 'wp_nonce_field', 'wp_verify_nonce', or 'check_admin_referer' calls within functions that handle form submissions or settings changes
    Affected if No nonce verification functions are found in form-handling code, or nonce fields are missing from admin forms
  4. Check AJAX handlers for CSRF protection
    Search plugin PHP files for 'admin-ajax.php' handlers and verify that each registered AJAX action includes nonce validation using wp_verify_nonce or check_ajax_referer
    Affected if AJAX actions lack nonce verification or accept requests without validating the nonce parameter
  5. Verify Origin/Referer header validation
    Search plugin PHP files for '$_SERVER[\'HTTP_ORIGIN\']' or '$_SERVER[\'HTTP_REFERER\']' checks, or inspect .htaccess for Origin header validation rules
    Affected if No server-side header validation is performed before processing state-changing requests

Environment is affected if the Wbolt All In One Search plugin version is 4.2.7 or lower AND the plugin lacks proper nonce validation on forms and AJAX handlers that modify settings or trigger submission requests.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 4.2.7
Interim mitigation

Implement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing operations, validate the Origin/Referer headers, and add SameSite cookie attributes. For WordPress plugins, use wp_nonce_field() and check_admin_referer() for form submissions and AJAX actions.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence
