CVE-2025-24699
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 · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Wow-Company WP Coder wp-coder allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).This issue affects WP Coder: from n/a through <= 3.6.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in WP Coder plugin allows attackers to craft malicious requests that can inject XSS payloads. The lack of proper nonce validation on sensitive actions enables attackers to trick authenticated administrators into executing unintended code via forged requests.

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.
-
Verify WP Coder plugin is installedCheck for the presence of the WP Coder plugin in your WordPress installation by looking for the plugin directory (typically at /wp-content/plugins/wp-coder/ or search for 'wp-coder' in the plugins list via WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins)Affected if WP Coder plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify installed versionAccess the plugin header version via WordPress admin (Plugins > Installed Plugins > WP Coder) or read the main plugin file (usually wp-coder.php) and locate the 'Version' comment tag, or use wp-cli: wp plugin get wp-coder --field=versionAffected if The version cannot be determined or is older than the patched version
-
Confirm admin access to WP Coder settingsNavigate to the WP Coder plugin settings page in WordPress admin (usually under Plugins > WP Coder or a dedicated menu item) and check if you can access forms that allow adding or editing code snippetsAffected if You have access to create or modify code snippets through the plugin admin interface
-
Inspect form actions for nonce fieldsView the HTML source of the WP Coder admin pages (right-click > View Page Source) and search for forms that submit state-changing actions (add, edit, save, delete code). Check if each form contains a hidden input field with a name containing 'nonce' (such as wp_ajax_nonce, _wpnonce, or similar)Affected if Forms that modify plugin settings or code snippets lack nonce validation fields
-
Check for XSS output escaping in adminCreate a test code snippet with a simple string (like <script>alert(1)</script>) and save it. View the saved snippet in the admin panel, then inspect the HTML source (View Page Source) to see if the angle brackets are rendered as plain text (<script>) or as actual HTML tagsAffected if User-supplied content in code snippets is rendered as raw HTML without encoding when viewed in the admin interface
You are affected if the WP Coder plugin is installed, lacks proper nonce validation on its admin forms, and does not escape output when displaying user-supplied code snippets in the admin area.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) to all state-changing form actions and ensure proper output escaping/sanitization of user-supplied data to prevent XSS.
