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

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in WP Revisions Manager plugin for WordPress (versions through 1.0.2) allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended administrative actions due to missing or improper anti-CSRF token validation on state-changing requests.

MitigationImplement WordPress nonce validation (wp_verify_nonce) on all forms and AJAX actions, and include nonce fields (wp_nonce_field) in user-facing forms. Users should update to the latest plugin version once 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. Check if WP Revisions Manager is installed
    Go to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for WP Revisions Manager in the list of active plugins
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active
  2. Determine the installed version
    In the plugins list, click on the plugin to expand details or access the plugin file header (usually in the main PHP file) to read the Version comment
    Affected if Version is 1.0.2 or lower (any version through 1.0.2)
  3. Identify state-changing functions in the plugin
    Search plugin PHP files for functions that modify data: post/delete/revision actions, bulk operations, settings saves, or AJAX handlers that change WordPress state
    Affected if State-changing functions exist in the plugin (they are the attack vector)
  4. Verify nonce validation presence
    Examine the identified state-changing functions and their associated form/AJAX handlers for calls to wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer; check form files for wp_nonce_field output
    Affected if Forms and AJAX handlers lack wp_nonce_field or wp_verify_nonce validation

The environment is affected if WP Revisions Manager version 1.0.2 or lower is installed AND state-changing plugin functions lack proper WordPress nonce validation on their requests.
