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.
-
Verify WoodMart theme is installedCheck for the existence of wp-content/themes/woodmart/ directory, or view installed themes in WordPress admin under Appearance > ThemesAffected if WoodMart theme directory exists in the WordPress themes folder
-
Determine installed WoodMart versionOpen the style.css file located in wp-content/themes/woodmart/ and locate the 'Version:' header, or view theme version in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes > WoodMart DetailsAffected if Version read from style.css is below 7.1.2 or version cannot be determined
-
Identify state-changing endpointsReview PHP files in wp-content/themes/woodmart/ that handle form submissions and AJAX requests, looking for functions that modify theme settings, site configuration, or user dataAffected if State-changing endpoints exist in the theme and are accessible to authenticated administrators
-
Check for anti-CSRF token validationInspect the identified state-changing PHP handlers for presence of wp_verify_nonce, check_ajax_referer, or similar nonce validation functions before processing requestsAffected if State-changing request handlers lack nonce verification logic
The environment is affected if WoodMart theme version is below 7.1.2 AND the theme contains state-changing request handlers that do not validate anti-CSRF tokens.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped7.1.2
