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

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the PixelYourSite WordPress plugin (version <= 10.0.1.2) allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into submitting unintended requests to the plugin's administrative functions, potentially leading to configuration changes or malicious tag injection.

MitigationImplement WordPress nonces on all forms and AJAX endpoints within the plugin, and verify the referer header or origin header on POST requests to ensure requests originate from legitimate sources.

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. Check if PixelYourSite plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and look for 'PixelYourSite' in the installed plugins list, or inspect the plugin directory at /wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'pixelyoursite' or similar
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Identify the installed version of PixelYourSite
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, find PixelYourSite and view the version number displayed beneath the plugin name, or read the 'readme.txt' or 'plugin.php' file in the plugin directory to find the 'Version' header
    Affected if The installed version is 10.0.1.2 or any earlier version (e.g., 10.0.1.1, 10.0.0.x, etc.)
  3. Verify administrative access to the plugin
    Log in to WordPress as an administrator and navigate to the PixelYourSite plugin settings page (usually under 'PixelYourSite' menu item in the admin sidebar)
    Affected if An authenticated administrator user can access and interact with the plugin's administrative interface
  4. Inspect plugin forms for nonce implementation
    View the HTML source of the plugin's admin pages (Settings, Configuration, or any form-presenting page) and search for 'wp_nonce' or 'nonce' fields in <input> tags within <form> elements
    Affected if Forms lack WordPress nonce fields (wp_nonce) or do not verify nonce tokens on submission, indicating the CSRF protection is missing

You are affected if PixelYourSite plugin is installed with version 10.0.1.2 or lower AND the plugin's administrative forms do not implement WordPress nonce verification.
