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 Reviewify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'send_test_email' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to create arbitrary WooCommerce discount coupons, potentially causing financial loss to the store.

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 Reviewify WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Broken Access Control due to a missing capability check on the 'send_test_email' AJAX action in versions up to 1.0.7. This allows any authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher to bypass authorization and create arbitrary WooCommerce discount coupons, potentially causing direct financial loss to the store.

MitigationUpdate the Reviewify plugin to version 1.0.8 or later which includes proper capability validation. Until patched, consider disabling new user registration and monitor for unauthorized coupon creation.

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. Identify the installed Reviewify plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate Reviewify. The version number is displayed beneath the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/reviewify/reviewify.php for the 'Version' tag.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.7 or lower (any version up to and including 1.0.7).
  2. Confirm WooCommerce is active
    In WordPress admin, verify WooCommerce status under Plugins > Must-Use Plugins or check for the WooCommerce menu item in the admin sidebar. The vulnerability impact (coupon creation) requires WooCommerce to be present.
    Affected if WooCommerce is installed and active in the WordPress environment.
  3. Check for existing user accounts with Contributor role or higher
    Navigate to Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Review the role column for each account. Alternatively, query the wp_usermeta table filtering for meta_key = 'wp_capabilities' and meta_value containing 'contributor', 'author', 'editor', or 'administrator'.
    Affected if Any user account exists with Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator role (authenticated users at Contributor level and above can exploit this flaw).
  4. Verify the send_test_email AJAX action is accessible
    Inspect the plugin AJAX handler registration in reviewify.php or related files. Look for wp_ajax_send_test_email and wp_ajax_nopriv_send_test_email hooks. Check if capability checks (like 'manage_options' or 'edit_products') are absent before the coupon creation logic.
    Affected if The AJAX action 'send_test_email' is registered without a proper capability check (no current_user_can() validation before coupon generation).
  5. Audit recently created WooCommerce coupons for unauthorized creation
    In WordPress admin, go to Marketing > Coupons (WooCommerce). Review the 'Created' column for coupons created by unexpected users or at unusual times. Cross-reference coupon creators against legitimate administrators.
    Affected if Coupons exist in WooCommerce that were created by users without administrative privileges, or creation timestamps correlate with periods when non-admin users had access.

Your environment is affected if the Reviewify plugin version is 1.0.7 or lower AND WooCommerce is active AND at least one user with Contributor-level access exists, allowing unauthorized coupon creation.
