CVE-2025-26568
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 jensmueller Easy Amazon Product Information easy-amazon-product-information allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Easy Amazon Product Information: from n/a through <= 4.0.1.
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 confidenceA CSRF vulnerability in the Easy Amazon Product Information WordPress plugin (versions <= 4.0.1) allows attackers to craft malicious requests that, when triggered by an authenticated administrator, result in Stored XSS. The attacker tricks the admin into submitting a crafted form that injects malicious scripts into the database.

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.
-
Identify if Easy Amazon Product Information plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'Easy Amazon Product Information' in the plugin list.Affected if The plugin is not found in the installed plugins list, then the site is not affected by this vulnerability.
-
Determine the installed version of the pluginIn the Plugins list, find 'Easy Amazon Product Information' and note the version number displayed below the plugin name.Affected if The installed version is 4.0.1 or lower, indicating the plugin is within the vulnerable version range.
-
Inspect plugin forms for anti-CSRF token presenceUse browser developer tools or manually examine the plugin's PHP source files (typically in wp-content/plugins/easy-amazon-product-information/). Look at all HTML forms generated by the plugin and check if each form includes a wp_nonce_field() or similar nonce verification mechanism.Affected if Forms that handle state-changing operations (such as saving settings, adding/editing products) lack nonce tokens, meaning the plugin is vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
-
Verify data sanitization on form submissionsReview the plugin's PHP code that handles form submissions. Check if input data is processed through sanitization functions (such as sanitize_text_field(), esc_attr(), or similar) before being saved to the database.Affected if Form submission handlers do not properly sanitize user inputs before storing them, allowing malicious script content to be saved.
-
Check output escaping for stored dataExamine the plugin code that displays stored data in the admin dashboard or on the frontend. Verify that all user-supplied data retrieved from the database is passed through escaping functions (such as esc_html(), esc_attr(), or wp_kses()) before output.Affected if Stored data is output without proper escaping, which would allow the injected XSS payload to execute when the data is displayed.
A site is affected if the Easy Amazon Product Information plugin version is 4.0.1 or lower and the plugin's forms lack CSRF nonce protection, allowing Stored XSS to be injected via a crafted request.

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.
dbcve · scopedImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing forms and validate these tokens on submission. Additionally, properly sanitize and escape all user-supplied and stored data before output to prevent the stored XSS.
Any version newer than 4.0.1 (check WordPress plugin repository for latest release)
- Check if the WordPress site uses the 'Easy Amazon Product Information' plugin by jensmueller
- Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins section
- Locate the Easy Amazon Product Information plugin
- Verify the current installed version is <= 4.0.1
- Check for an available plugin update to a version newer than 4.0.1
- If an update is available, update the plugin to the latest version
- If no update is available from the WordPress plugin repository, contact the plugin developer for a patched release
