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

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the AGP Font Awesome Collection WordPress plugin versions 3.2.4 and below. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions via maliciously crafted requests, likely due to missing or improper nonce token validation in plugin admin functions.

MitigationUpdate the AGP Font Awesome Collection plugin to a version newer than 3.2.4. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released.

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. Locate the AGP Font Awesome Collection plugin files
    Navigate to your WordPress installation wp-content/plugins/ directory and look for a folder named 'agp-font-awesome-collection' or similar. Also check via the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins.
    Affected if The plugin folder exists and the plugin is installed on the WordPress site.
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (typically agp-font-awesome-collection.php) and look for the version number in the plugin header comment at the top of the file, or check the readme.txt file for the 'Stable tag' entry.
    Affected if The version listed is 3.2.4 or any version lower than 3.2.4.
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    In the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and confirm whether the AGP Font Awesome Collection plugin shows as 'Active'.
    Affected if The plugin is active and running in a production or accessible WordPress environment.
  4. Check for admin access exposure
    Determine if the WordPress site allows administrator-level access, as CSRF attacks targeting this vulnerability require tricking authenticated administrators. Review user roles with administrator capabilities.
    Affected if Administrator accounts exist and can access the WordPress admin dashboard where the plugin settings are exposed.

A user is affected if the AGP Font Awesome Collection plugin version 3.2.4 or lower is installed and active on a WordPress site with administrator accounts, since the CSRF flaw can be exploited via maliciously crafted requests to admin functions lacking proper nonce validation.
