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 Gift Up plugin for WordPress/WooCommerce allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions such as modifying gift card settings, processing refunds, or altering plugin configurations via crafted malicious requests.

MitigationImplement WordPress nonces (anti-CSRF tokens) on all state-changing form submissions and AJAX actions, and verify these nonces server-side before processing any requests.

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. Verify Gift Up plugin installation and version
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and locate 'Gift Up Gift Cards For Wordpress And Woocommerce'. Check the version number displayed below the plugin name, or inspect the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/gift-up/includes/plugin.php for the 'Version' defined constant
    Affected if The installed version is 2.21.3 or lower
  2. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, verify that the Gift Up plugin shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive' or 'Must Use'
    Affected if The plugin is active and the version is 2.21.3 or lower
  3. Inspect admin action nonce verification
    Using a file editor or grep tool, examine the plugin PHP files (particularly admin处理文件如gift-up-admin.php或包含admin、settings、process、refund关键字的文件) for state-changing form submissions and AJAX actions. Search for presence of 'wp_verify_nonce' or 'check_admin_referer' function calls before any database write operations such as update_option, update_post_meta, or refund processing
    Affected if State-changing admin actions (gift card settings modifications, refund processing, plugin configuration changes) lack nonce verification calls and the plugin version is 2.21.3 or lower
  4. Review form implementations in plugin admin pages
    Access the plugin admin pages (Gift Cards settings, Orders, or Configuration pages) and view the page source. Examine HTML forms for the presence of a nonce field (typically <input type="hidden" name="_wpnonce" or name containing "nonce") in all forms that perform state-changing operations
    Affected if Forms that modify gift card settings, process refunds, or change plugin configuration are missing nonce fields and the plugin version is 2.21.3 or lower

A user is affected if the Gift Up plugin version is 2.21.3 or lower and it is active, with admin forms and AJAX actions lacking CSRF token (nonce) protection for state-changing operations.
