CVE-2024-13522
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 · uneditedThe magayo Lottery Results plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.12. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'magayo-lottery-results' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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 confidenceThe magayo Lottery Results WordPress plugin lacks proper nonce validation on its settings page, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge administrative requests. This CSRF vulnerability enables attackers to modify plugin settings and inject malicious scripts by tricking administrators into clicking crafted links.

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 magayo Lottery Results plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for 'magayo Lottery Results' or 'Magayo Magayo Lottery Results'. Note the installed version displayed.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 2.0.12 or lower
-
Verify plugin is activeCheck the Plugins page in WordPress admin to confirm the magayo Lottery Results plugin shows as 'Active'.Affected if The plugin is active and at version 2.0.12 or lower - only active plugins with this vulnerability can be exploited
-
Inspect settings handler for nonce validationAccess the plugin files via wp-content/plugins/ directory. Locate the file handling settings submissions (often named settings.php, admin.php, or similar). Search for 'nonce' or 'wp_verify_nonce' within that file.Affected if The settings handler file does not contain wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or wp_nonce_field calls when processing settings changes
-
Check for CSRF protection on admin actionsExamine the plugin PHP files for admin action handlers. Look for functions that process GET or POST requests from the settings page without validating a nonce token.Affected if Admin actions modify settings without requiring a valid nonce token verification
If the magayo Lottery Results plugin is active at version 2.0.12 or below and its settings handlers lack nonce validation, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2024-13522.
