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.

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 Zajax plugin is installed
    Check your web application's plugin directory for a folder named 'zajax', 'zajax-ajax-navigation', or similar. For WordPress, inspect the wp-content/plugins/ directory.
    Affected if The Zajax - Ajax Navigation plugin folder exists in the plugins directory
  2. Identify the installed version
    Open the main plugin file (usually index.php, main.php, or zajax.php) and look for a version comment or constant in the file header. Alternatively, check a CHANGELOG or readme.txt file if present.
    Affected if The version reported is 0.4 or lower, or no version is found (which typically indicates an old, unupdated installation)
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    Check your application's admin panel or active plugins configuration to confirm the Zajax plugin is enabled and processing requests.
    Affected if The plugin is active and handling navigation or form submissions
  4. Test for CSRF protection on state-changing actions
    Attempt a low-level test: submit a navigation or form request without including any anti-CSRF token header or parameter. Inspect whether the plugin accepts and processes the request without requiring a token.
    Affected if The plugin accepts state-changing requests (like navigation or data submission) without validating a CSRF token or origin header

Your environment is affected if the Zajax - Ajax Navigation plugin version 0.4 or below is installed, active, and handles requests without CSRF token validation.
