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
The Analytify Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 via the Analytify Tag HTML details. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract usernames from source code. While we generally do not assign CVE IDs to username exposure issues, this vendor has specifically requested we consider it a vulnerability.

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 · high confidence

The Analytify Pro WordPress plugin versions up to 7.0.3 expose usernames in the HTML source code through the Analytify Tag feature. Unauthenticated attackers can view the page source and extract usernames that are embedded in the Analytify Tag HTML details.

MitigationUpdate to version 7.0.4 or later when available. Until a patch is released, consider disabling the Analytify Tag functionality or restricting access via firewall rules.

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 Analytify Pro plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find Analytify Pro. Check the version number displayed, or inspect the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/analytify-pro/analytify-pro.php
    Affected if Version is 7.0.3 or lower (any version up to and including 7.0.3)
  2. Confirm Analytify Tag feature is enabled
    In WordPress admin, go to Analytify > Settings. Look for Analytify Tag settings (usually under Dashboard or Profile settings). Check if the feature is turned on.
    Affected if The Analytify Tag functionality is enabled on the site
  3. Inspect page HTML for username exposure
    View the public-facing site homepage or any page with analytics. Right-click and select View Page Source (or use browser DevTools > Elements). Search for 'analytify' and examine any HTML comments or elements containing the Analytify Tag. Look for visible username strings in data attributes or HTML content.
    Affected if Usernames are visible in HTML source within Analytify Tag elements (look for strings like 'user_login', 'user_nicename', or actual usernames in analytify-related divs or comments)

If Analytify Pro version is 7.0.3 or lower AND the Analytify Tag feature is enabled AND usernames appear in the page HTML source, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
