Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ragaskar Amazon Associate Filter amazon-associate-filter allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Amazon Associate Filter: from n/a through <= 0.4.

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

CSRF vulnerability in the Amazon Associate Filter WordPress plugin enables attackers to forge requests that inject malicious scripts (Stored XSS) into the application. The lack of anti-CSRF tokens on state-changing operations allows authenticated users to unknowingly execute attacker-controlled actions.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing operations and enforce proper input sanitization/output encoding to prevent XSS. Update to a patched version of the plugin when available.

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 plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate 'Amazon Associate Filter' in the installed plugins list. Note the installed version number displayed next to the plugin name.
    Affected if The plugin is present in the environment
  2. Retrieve exact plugin version
    Access the plugin file header via FTP or file manager: /wp-content/plugins/amazon-associate-filter/ or similar path containing 'amazon associate' in folder name. Open the main PHP file and locate the 'Version' header comment to confirm the exact version number.
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or matches vulnerable release(s)
  3. Inspect for missing nonce tokens in forms
    Examine PHP files in the plugin directory for form handlers that perform state-changing actions (e.g., save_settings, update_options, insert/update post). Search for absence of 'wp_nonce_field', 'check_admin_referer', or 'verify_nonce' calls before processing POST/GET requests.
    Affected if State-changing forms or URLs lack nonce verification logic
  4. Check AJAX actions for CSRF protection
    Search plugin PHP files for 'add_action' hooks handling AJAX requests (wp_ajax_*). Verify that each handler includes nonce validation via 'check_ajax_referer' or 'wp_verify_nonce' before executing database changes or configuration updates.
    Affected if AJAX action handlers skip nonce validation
  5. Review admin pages for unprotected state operations
    Navigate to any settings or configuration pages provided by the plugin. Use browser developer tools to inspect HTML forms for hidden nonce fields. Submit a test request and examine if the server accepts it without a valid CSRF token.
    Affected if Forms or URLs on plugin admin pages do not include anti-CSRF tokens

The environment is affected if the Amazon Associate Filter plugin is installed AND state-changing operations (forms, AJAX actions, or admin URLs) lack anti-CSRF token validation, allowing attacker-controlled requests to inject stored XSS.

Mitigation

Implement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing operations and enforce proper input sanitization/output encoding to prevent XSS. Update to a patched version of the plugin when available.
