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 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the lizeipe Photo Gallery (Responsive) plugin allows attackers to craft malicious requests that trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions, leading to privilege escalation. The absence of anti-CSRF tokens in sensitive admin functions enables attackers to forge state-changing 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.
-
Locate the lizeipe Photo Gallery pluginCheck your WordPress installation under wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'lizeipe-photo-gallery', 'lizeipe-photo-gallery-responsive', or similar. Also verify in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins.Affected if The plugin with name containing 'lizeipe' and 'photo gallery' is installed and active.
-
Identify the installed versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually plugin-name.php) and locate the version comment/header, or check the version field in the WordPress plugin admin page.Affected if Unable to determine version or version falls within any affected range (compare against official WordPress repository if version data becomes available).
-
Verify admin authentication requirementConfirm that exploitation requires an authenticated administrator session. This is a prerequisite for CVE-2025-27276.Affected if The environment has active administrator sessions and the plugin is accessible to those admins.
-
Check for anti-CSRF token implementationInspect plugin source code for admin action handlers (typically in includes/admin/ or similar folders). Look for nonce verification using wp_verify_nonce or check_admin_referer in functions handling state-changing operations.Affected if Sensitive admin functions (settings changes, user modifications, content updates) lack nonce/token verification.
You are affected if the lizeipe Photo Gallery plugin is installed, has an active admin session, and the plugin code lacks anti-CSRF token validation in its administrative functions.

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 dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) on all state-changing admin operations and validate Origin/Referer headers to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
