Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in SoftLab Integrate Google Drive.This issue affects Integrate Google Drive: from n/a through 1.3.4.
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 confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in SoftLab Integrate Google Drive plugin allows attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unwanted actions by tricking them into submitting malicious requests. The lack of proper CSRF protection (anti-CSRF tokens or proper Origin/Referer validation) enables attackers to execute unauthorized operations on behalf of authenticated users.

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.
-
Confirm SoftLabbd Integrate Google Drive plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory for a folder related to 'integrate-google-drive' or search for 'SoftLabbd' in your installed plugins list via WordPress admin or file systemAffected if The plugin folder exists in your WordPress installation
-
Identify the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin file (typically the primary PHP file in the plugin folder) and locate the version defined in the plugin header comment (e.g., 'Version: x.x.x')Affected if The version shown is less than 1.3.5 or cannot be determined (missing version string)
-
Verify the plugin handles authenticated state-changing operationsReview plugin code to identify functions that modify data or perform actions on behalf of logged-in users (such as saving settings, connecting/disconnecting Google Drive accounts, or transferring files)Affected if The plugin processes requests from authenticated users without verifying request origin (Origin/Referer headers) or requiring anti-CSRF tokens
Your environment is affected if the SoftLabbd Integrate Google Drive plugin is installed with a version lower than 1.3.5 and handles any authenticated user actions.
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 · scoped1.3.5
Implement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and validate Origin/Referer headers to ensure requests originate from legitimate sources.
1.3.5
- Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
