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 WP Client Reports plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins, or check wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'wp-client-reports' or similarAffected if The plugin is present in the installation
-
Identify the installed plugin versionAccess the plugin file (usually main PHP file in the plugin folder) and locate the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block, or view version in WordPress plugin admin listAffected if Version number is lower than 1.0.23 (e.g., 1.0.22, 1.0.20, etc.)
-
Confirm the plugin handles state-changing operationsReview the plugin code for admin forms (POST requests) and AJAX endpoints that modify data (settings, reports, user data)Affected if The plugin contains admin forms or AJAX handlers that perform actions like saving settings, generating reports, or modifying client data
-
Inspect for missing CSRF protection tokensSearch plugin PHP files for nonce verification functions: wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, check_ajax_referer. Look for these on form submissions and AJAX actionsAffected if State-changing forms and AJAX endpoints lack nonce verification or have no 'nonce' field in their forms
You are affected if the plugin version is below 1.0.23 AND the plugin processes administrative actions without verifying CSRF tokens on forms or AJAX requests.

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 · scoped1.0.23
Implement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing operations including admin forms and AJAX endpoints, validate Origin/Referer headers server-side, and consider adding SameSite attribute to session cookies.
1.0.23
- Back up your WordPress site database and files before performing any updates
- Update the WP Client Reports plugin to version 1.0.23 or later through the WordPress admin dashboard (Plugins > All Plugins > WP Client Reports > Update Now)
- Alternatively, update via wp-cli: wp plugin update wp-client-reports --version=1.0.23
- After updating, verify the plugin version shows 1.0.23 or higher in the installed plugins list
- Test that the plugin functionality works correctly after the update
