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 Fla-shop.Com Interactive World Map plugin versions 3.2.0 and earlier allows attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unintended actions by tricking them into submitting malicious requests.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) for state-changing operations and validate Origin/Referer headers to ensure requests originate from trusted sources.

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. Identify if Fla Shop Interactive World Map plugin is installed
    Check your web application plugins directory for a folder named 'interactive-world-map' or similar, or query your plugin/package management system for the presence of Fla-shop.Com Interactive World Map
    Affected if The plugin folder or package exists in your system
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Inspect the plugin's main file header, readme.txt, or version metadata in your CMS/plugin manager for the version number
    Affected if The version is 3.2.0 or lower
  3. Verify state-changing functionality is accessible
    Check if the plugin admin or user-facing features that modify data (form submissions, settings changes, map configuration updates) are accessible to authenticated users
    Affected if State-changing operations exist and are accessible without additional CSRF protection layers at the application level
  4. Confirm absence of anti-CSRF protection in plugin
    Examine plugin source code or HTTP requests for the presence of CSRF tokens (synchronizer tokens) on state-changing forms and validate that Origin/Referer header validation is not being performed by the plugin
    Affected if No anti-CSRF tokens are present in state-changing requests and the plugin does not validate request origins

You are affected if the Fla Shop Interactive World Map plugin version 3.2.0 or earlier is installed and state-changing operations lack anti-CSRF token protection.
