CVE-2025-13606
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 · uneditedThe Export All Posts, Products, Orders, Refunds & Users plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.19. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the `parseData` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export sensitive information including user data, email addresses, password hashes, and WooCommerce data to an attacker-controlled file path on the server via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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 confidenceThe Export All Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CSRF due to missing nonce validation in the parseData function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to trick administrators into triggering exports of sensitive data (user PII, email addresses, password hashes, WooCommerce order data) to attacker-specified file paths on the server.

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.
-
Verify Export All Posts plugin is installedCheck for the plugin folder at wp-content/plugins/export-all-posts or look for it in WordPress admin under PluginsAffected if Plugin is not installed on the WordPress site
-
Check installed plugin versionInspect the main plugin file (usually export-all-posts.php) and look for the Version header comment in the plugin file header, or view version in WordPress admin plugin listAffected if Version is present but less than 2.20 (vulnerable); version 2.20 or later is patched
-
Confirm parseData function exists and lacks nonce checkAccess the plugin source code and locate the parseData function; verify if it contains wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer callsAffected if Function exists and does not perform nonce validation on exported data
-
Verify plugin is activeCheck WordPress admin Plugins page or query the wp_options table for option_name='active_plugins' to see if export-all-posts is enabledAffected if Plugin is active and exploitable; inactive plugin reduces risk but version still vulnerable if installed
The site is affected if Export All Posts plugin version below 2.20 is installed and active, with the parseData function lacking nonce validation.

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 · scopedUpdate the plugin to version 2.20 or later which includes proper nonce validation. Until patched, avoid clicking untrusted links while logged into WordPress admin.
Version 2.20 or latest available release
