CVE-2024-2702
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in Olive Themes Olive One Click Demo Import allows importing settings and data, ultimately leading to XSS.This issue affects Olive One Click Demo Import: from n/a through 1.1.1.
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 · high confidenceMissing authorization check in the Olive One Click Demo Import plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to import arbitrary settings and data through the demo import functionality. Since the imported data is stored and rendered on the WordPress site, this enables stored XSS attacks with critical severity.

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.
-
Verify Olive One Click Demo Import plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'Olivethemes Olive One Click Demo Import' in the list of active or inactive plugins.Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
-
Check installed plugin versionOn the Plugins page, click 'View Details' next to Olive One Click Demo Import, or access the main plugin file (usually in wp-content/plugins/olive-one-click-demo-import/olive-one-click-demo-import.php) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments.Affected if The version number displayed is lower than 1.1.2 (for example, 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1).
-
Inspect demo import endpoint accessibilityExamine the plugin directory for PHP files handling import functionality (typically files named import.php, demo-import.php, or similar). Look for AJAX handlers or direct action endpoints that process import requests.Affected if The import handler files exist and there is no visible capability check (like current_user_can) or nonce verification at the entry points.
-
Test unauthorized import capabilityUsing a tool like curl, send a POST request to the plugin's import AJAX endpoint (commonly at /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action 'olive_demo_import' or similar) without authentication credentials.Affected if The server accepts the request and returns a successful response without requiring authentication or returning a 401/403 error.
The environment is affected if the Olive One Click Demo Import plugin is installed with a version lower than 1.1.2 and the demo import endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests.
