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.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionNavigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and locate the Dynamic Widgets plugin (by Vivwebsolutions). Check the version number displayed in the plugin list. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file and look for the 'Version:' comment in the file header.Affected if The installed version is below 1.6.5 (versions 1.6.4 and earlier are affected)
-
Confirm the plugin is activeIn WordPress Admin > Plugins, verify that Dynamic Widgets shows as 'Active'. Only an active installation can be exploited.Affected if The plugin is active with a vulnerable version
-
Inspect plugin code for missing nonce validation on form handlersAccess the plugin files via FTP or File Manager. Open PHP files that handle form submissions for widget configuration (typically files with names like 'admin.php', 'widget-settings.php', or similar). Search for 'wp_verify_nonce', 'check_admin_referer', or 'check_ajax_referer' within functions that save or update widget settings.Affected if Form handlers that modify widget settings lack nonce verification calls
-
Inspect AJAX handlers for missing nonce verificationExamine AJAX action callbacks in the plugin (functions hooked to 'wp_ajax_' actions). Check if these handlers call wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer before processing requests that change widget state.Affected if AJAX endpoints that modify widget configuration do not validate nonces
A site is affected if the Dynamic Widgets plugin version is below 1.6.5 and the plugin processes state-changing requests (form submissions or AJAX calls) without verifying anti-CSRF tokens.
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 · scoped1.6.5
Implement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing forms and AJAX endpoints in the plugin, and configure SameSite cookie attributes. Update to a patched version if available.
