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 JetPopup jet-popup allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects JetPopup: from n/a through <= 2.0.11.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in Crocoblock JetPopup plugin allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access functionality that should be constrained by access control lists (ACLs). The issue affects versions up to and including 2.0.11, potentially enabling attackers to manipulate popup behaviors or access administrative functionality without proper authentication.

MitigationUpgrade JetPopup to a version beyond 2.0.11 that implements proper authorization checks, or disable the plugin until a patched version is available. If immediate patching is not possible, review and restrict access to JetPopup-related AJAX endpoints at the server level.

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 JetPopup plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins and verify JetPopup (by Crocoblock) appears in the installed plugins list
    Affected if JetPopup plugin is present and active in the WordPress installation
  2. Check installed JetPopup version
    In Plugins list, locate JetPopup and view the version number displayed below the plugin name; or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/jetpopup/jetpopup.php
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0.11 or any earlier version (the vulnerability affects versions up to and including 2.0.11)
  3. Identify exposed AJAX endpoints
    Search plugin files for wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv hooks in jetpopup.php or related files within the /jetpopup/includes/ directory
    Affected if Any JetPopup AJAX endpoints are registered with wp_ajax_nopriv hooks (allowing unauthenticated access)
  4. Review access to popup administrative functions
    Test accessing JetPopup popup editor or settings pages directly via URL without being logged in as an administrator
    Affected if Unauthenticated or low-privilege users can access popup creation, editing, or settings pages that should require admin privileges
  5. Inspect server logs for suspicious JetPopup requests
    Examine access logs for POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with JetPopup-related actions (jetpopup_*) from unknown or anonymous IP addresses
    Affected if Logs show requests to JetPopup AJAX actions originating from unauthenticated sources

Your environment is affected if the JetPopup plugin is installed with version 2.0.11 or lower and AJAX endpoints or administrative functions are accessible without proper authentication.
