Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in WP EasyCart.This issue affects WP EasyCart: from n/a through 5.5.19.

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 WP EasyCart plugin for WordPress allows attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unintended actions via malicious requests. The vulnerability affects versions through 5.5.19 and stems from missing or improper CSRF token validation in state-changing operations.

MitigationUpdate WP EasyCart to the latest version beyond 5.5.19 to obtain the security patch. Additionally, ensure proper nonce token validation is implemented for all form submissions and AJAX actions.

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. Confirm WP EasyCart plugin is installed
    Go to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins and look for 'WP EasyCart' in the installed plugins list, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the wpeasycart folder
    Affected if WP EasyCart plugin is present on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed WP EasyCart version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > WP EasyCart and read the version number displayed, or check the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/wpeasycart/wpeasycart.php for the 'Version' field
    Affected if Version is 5.5.19 or any earlier version through the series
  3. Locate state-changing forms and AJAX actions
    Inspect the WP EasyCart plugin directory for PHP files containing form submissions (POST/GET requests that modify data) and AJAX handlers - look for files in /wp-content/plugins/wpeasycart/ and subdirectories that handle admin or user actions like save, update, delete, or submit operations
    Affected if State-changing operations exist in the plugin (which they do in standard WP EasyCart installations)
  4. Verify CSRF token validation presence
    Open the PHP files handling state-changing operations and search for nonce verification functions such as wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or wp_create_nonce - examine whether these checks are present before processing any state-changing requests
    Affected if Nonce/CSRF token validation is missing or improperly implemented in the state-changing code paths

You are affected if WP EasyCart is installed at version 5.5.19 or earlier and any state-changing forms or AJAX actions lack proper CSRF token validation.
