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
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Tamer Ziady GDReseller gdreseller allows Stored XSS.This issue affects GDReseller: from n/a through <= 1.6.

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 GDReseller enables attackers to inject malicious scripts that persist (Stored XSS) by tricking authenticated users into submitting crafted requests. This allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript in other users' browsers when the stored payload is rendered.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing forms and validate Origin/Referer headers; apply proper input sanitization and output encoding to prevent stored XSS execution.

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 GDReseller plugin installation
    In WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate GDReseller, or check the plugin files in /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the gd-reseller folder
    Affected if GDReseller plugin is not installed on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed GDReseller version
    Check the plugin header in gd-reseller.php for the 'Version' field, or view the plugin details in WordPress admin plugin list
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is within any affected range (if known)
  3. Locate state-changing forms in GDReseller
    Inspect plugin source code for forms that modify data: look for <form> tags in PHP files within the plugin directory, especially those handling reseller settings, user submissions, or content updates
    Affected if Forms exist that accept user input withoutevident nonce validation
  4. Verify CSRF protection presence
    Search plugin PHP files for 'wp_nonce_field', 'wp_verify_nonce', 'check_admin_referer', or 'nonce' parameters in form handling code
    Affected if No anti-CSRF tokens or nonce verification found in form processing logic
  5. Check input handling for stored data
    Examine how form submissions are saved to the database; look for add_post_meta, update_option, insert into database calls, or any function that stores user input
    Affected if User-supplied input is stored without sanitization (lack of sanitize_text_field, esc_html, esc_attr, or similar functions)

The site is affected if GDReseller is installed and forms lack CSRF token validation and proper input sanitization, allowing stored XSS payloads to persist and execute in other users browsers.
