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 confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the ListingPro WordPress plugin allows authentication bypass, enabling attackers to potentially execute unauthorized actions by tricking authenticated users into submitting malicious requests.

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.
-
Check installed ListingPro versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find ListingPro, and note the version number displayedAffected if The version shown is lower than 2.9.5
-
Identify state-changing formsInspect the plugin files for HTML forms that modify data (user registration, listing submission, profile updates, settings changes). Look for the presence of wp_nonce_field() or similar nonce generation functions within these form definitionsAffected if Forms that alter user data, listings, or settings lack nonce/token fields
-
Verify nonce validation in AJAX handlersExamine plugin PHP files for AJAX action handlers (wp_ajax_* hooks). Check if each handler calls check_admin_referer(), wp_verify_nonce(), orwp_nonce_verify() before processing requestsAffected if AJAX handlers that modify data do not validate nonces before executing state-changing operations
-
Check admin action handlersReview admin-post.php handlers and other server-side action processors. Verify that functions like check_admin_referer() are invoked for all state-modifying admin actionsAffected if Admin actions that change plugin settings, user permissions, or listing data do not verify CSRF tokens
You are affected if the installed ListingPro version is below 2.9.5 AND your site has forms or AJAX endpoints that handle user data without CSRF token validation.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped2.9.5
Implement anti-CSRF tokens on state-changing forms and actions, and strengthen authentication validation logic to ensure requests genuinely originate from legitimate user sessions.
ListingPro 2.9.5
- Create a full backup of the WordPress site including database and files
- Update the ListingPro plugin to version 2.9.5 or later through the WordPress admin dashboard (Plugins > Add New > Upload or directly from the WordPress repository if available)
- Verify the plugin version has been updated to 2.9.5 or newer in the installed plugins list
- Clear any site caching if applicable
- Test core functionality of the listing plugin to ensure the update did not break existing features
