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.
-
Confirm Easy Tynt plugin is installedAccess your WordPress site's file system and look in wp-content/plugins/ for a folder related to Easy Tynt (such as easy-tynt, easy-tynt-widget, or similar). Alternatively, log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for 'Easy Tynt'.Affected if The Easy Tynt plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
-
Identify the installed versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find Easy Tynt, and note the version number displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, open the plugin's main PHP file (usually in wp-content/plugins/[easy-tynt-folder]/) and look for a version constant in the file header comments.Affected if The installed version is 0.2.5.1 or any version number lower than 0.2.5.1.
-
Verify plugin is activeIn WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, confirm that Easy Tynt shows as 'Active' rather than 'Inactive' or is not present.Affected if The plugin is active and running on the site.
-
Inspect form submissions for nonce protectionIf you have access to the plugin source code, examine all PHP files that handle form submissions or state-changing requests (typically files with action hooks like admin_post_, wp_ajax_, or form handlers). Look for calls to wp_verify_nonce, wp_nonce_field, or check_admin_referer.Affected if The plugin processes admin actions without verifying a nonce, meaning no server-side validation of request origin is performed.
-
Check for CSRF tokens in AJAX handlersReview the plugin's AJAX handlers (functions hooked to wp_ajax_ or wp_ajax_nopriv_). Verify that each handler includes a nonce verification step before processing any data or performing any state-changing operation.Affected if AJAX handlers process requests without validating a CSRF token or nonce.
You are affected if the Easy Tynt plugin is installed, active, and running at version 0.2.5.1 or lower without proper nonce verification on form and AJAX handlers.

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.
From vendor dataAdd WordPress nonce verification (wp_nonce_field in forms, wp_verify_nonce in handlers) to all state-changing operations and validate the nonce server-side before processing requests.
