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

This is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the AA-Team Woocommerce Envato Affiliates WordPress plugin. The vulnerability allows attackers to access functionality that is not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), likely enabling unauthenticated or unauthorized users to perform actions that should require proper permissions.

MitigationApply the latest security patch/update for the plugin (version 1.2.2 or later if available). Until then, disable the plugin if not needed, or implement web application firewall rules to block suspicious access patterns to admin functions.

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. Confirm plugin is installed and active
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate 'AA-Team Woocommerce Envato Affiliates' or check via wp-cli: wp plugin list --status=active --name='*envato*'
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    Check the plugin header in its main PHP file (typically wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-envato-affiliates/) or view the plugin details page in WordPress admin
    Affected if Installed version is lower than the patched version (compare against the latest version available from the WordPress repository or vendor)
  3. Locate vulnerable function handlers
    Examine the plugin directory for PHP files handling admin actions (often in main plugin file or includes/admin/ folder). Look for functions that perform sensitive operations like settings updates, data exports, or user management
    Affected if The plugin contains PHP files with administrative functions that lack current_user_can() capability checks or nonce verification
  4. Test for unauthenticated access to admin functions
    Using a tool like curl or Burp, send requests to known admin action endpoints (such as ?action=some_admin_function&_wpnonce=...) without providing valid authentication cookies or with a low-privilege user account
    Affected if Sensitive administrative actions execute successfully without proper capability verification or with invalid/non-existent nonce values
  5. Verify capability check implementation
    Review plugin source code for presence of current_user_can(), check_admin_referer(), or wp_verify_nonce() calls before executing sensitive operations
    Affected if Administrative functions lack proper authorization checks or nonce validation

A user is affected if the AA-Team Woocommerce Envato Affiliates plugin is installed and active, and administrative functions can be invoked without proper capability verification or authentication.
