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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Crocoblock JetTricks jet-tricks allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects JetTricks: from n/a through <= 1.5.1.

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 confidence

This is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Crocoblock JetTricks WordPress plugin. The flaw allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access certain functionality that should be restricted by access control lists (ACLs). The vulnerability stems from improper capability checks or nonce validation on specific plugin endpoints, enabling attackers to invoke privileged operations without proper authentication.

MitigationUpdate JetTricks to version 1.5.2 or later, which contains the authorization fix. Until the update is applied, consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to the affected endpoints via web server configuration.

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. Verify JetTricks plugin is installed
    Locate the JetTricks plugin directory in the WordPress installation at wp-content/plugins/jet-tricks/, or check via WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins for 'JetTricks'
    Affected if The plugin directory exists or the plugin appears in the WordPress admin plugin list
  2. Determine installed JetTricks version
    Open the main plugin file (usually jet-tricks.php) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block, or check the version listed in the WordPress admin plugin page
    Affected if The reported version is earlier than 1.5.2 (e.g., 1.5.1, 1.5.0, or earlier)
  3. Identify accessible plugin AJAX or REST endpoints
    Review the plugin source code for registered AJAX actions (add_action calls with 'wp_ajax_' or 'wp_ajax_nopriv_') or REST API routes, noting which ones lack capability checks (current_user_can) or nonce validation
    Affected if Endpoints registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_ or missing current_user_can() checks are present in the code
  4. Test unauthorized endpoint access
    Send a request to the suspected vulnerable endpoint (identified in step 3) without authentication cookies or with a low-privilege user account to verify if the action executes without authorization
    Affected if The endpoint returns successful execution or expected privileged data without requiring authentication or proper capability verification

You are affected if the JetTricks plugin is installed with a version earlier than 1.5.2 and any AJAX or REST endpoints lack proper capability checks or nonce validation, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized access.
