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 Analytify plugin installationIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Analytify Analytify Google Analytics Dashboard'. Note the version number displayed below the plugin name.Affected if Plugin is installed with version 5.2.3 or earlier (< 5.2.4)
-
Check WordPress plugins directoryVia FTP or file manager, navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and check for the analytify folder. Open the main plugin file (usually analytify.php) and locate the 'Version' header comment.Affected if Version header shows a number less than 5.2.4
-
Inspect admin action handlers for nonce validationExamine PHP files in the analytify plugin folder (particularly in admin/ subdirectories) for WordPress nonce verification functions such as wp_verify_nonce(), check_admin_referer(), or check_ajax_referer() in functions handling form submissions or AJAX requests.Affected if Admin action handlers lack nonce verification calls before processing state-changing requests
-
Verify nonce field presence in admin formsView page source of Analytify plugin admin pages (e.g., Analytics > Dashboard, Analytics > Settings) and search for hidden nonce fields (input elements with name containing '_nonce' or 'wpnonce') in forms that perform settings changes or data submissions.Affected if Forms submitting to admin-post.php or AJAX endpoints lack hidden nonce input fields
A user is affected if the Analytify plugin version is below 5.2.4 AND admin forms/AJAX handlers in the plugin do not implement WordPress nonce verification before processing 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 · scoped5.2.4
Implement WordPress nonces (anti-CSRF tokens) on all state-changing admin actions and verify the nonce validation is enforced before processing any form submissions or AJAX requests.
Analytify Google Analytics Dashboard version 5.2.4
- Backup your WordPress site before performing any updates
- Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Find Analytify (Google Analytics Dashboard) in the plugin list
- Click 'Update Now' if an update is available, or manually upload version 5.2.4 of the Analytify plugin
- Verify the plugin version is now 5.2.4 in the Plugins list
- Test that the Analytify functionality works correctly (viewing Analytics data, saving settings)
