Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Shambhu Patnaik WP Flipkart Importer wp-flipkart-importer allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Flipkart Importer: from n/a through <= 1.4.

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

A CSRF vulnerability in the WP Flipkart Importer WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.4) allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into submitting malicious requests that inject persistent XSS payloads into the plugin's settings or imported content. The lack of proper CSRF token validation on admin actions enables stored XSS attacks that execute whenever an admin views the affected pages.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of WP Flipkart Importer if available; otherwise, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Review admin actions in the plugin for proper nonce/tokens and ensure all user-supplied data is sanitized before storage and escaped on output.

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. Verify WP Flipkart Importer is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'WP Flipkart Importer' in the list. Alternatively, check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'wp-flipkart-importer' or similar.
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list, regardless of activation status.
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In the Plugins admin page, click on the plugin to view details and read the Version number. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (usually wp-flipkart-importer.php or similar in the plugin folder) and look for a 'Version:' comment in the file header.
    Affected if The version number is 1.4 or lower, or if no version is displayed (plugin may be outdated/unlisted).
  3. Identify admin action handlers
    Examine the plugin's PHP files in the plugin folder for functions that handle admin actions (look for 'admin_init', 'add_action', 'wp_ajax', 'add_submenu_page', or form handlers processing $_POST/$_GET requests).
    Affected if The plugin contains admin action handlers that process user input without checking for CSRF tokens.
  4. Check for missing nonce validation
    Search the plugin's PHP files for nonce verification functions ('wp_verify_nonce', 'check_admin_referer', 'check_ajax_referer'). Look specifically in files that handle settings saves or import actions.
    Affected if Admin action handlers lack calls to wp_verify_nonce, check_admin_referer, or check_ajax_referer before processing requests.
  5. Inspect settings/import functionality for stored XSS sinks
    Review code that saves or displays plugin settings and imported content. Look for functions like 'update_option', 'update_post_meta', 'echo', 'print' that handle data without sanitization (lack of esc_html, esc_attr, sanitize_text_field, etc.).
    Affected if Plugin saves settings or imported content without sanitization (missing sanitize_text_field, esc_html, etc.) and displays them without escaping.

A user is affected if the WP Flipkart Importer plugin is installed with version 1.4 or lower AND its admin action handlers lack proper nonce/CSRF validation, allowing stored XSS injection via crafted requests.
