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 WordPress plugin 'Terms & Conditions Per Product' that allows users to bypass access control checks. The plugin fails to properly validate user capabilities before allowing access to modify product terms and conditions settings, potentially allowing unauthorized users to access or alter configurations they should not have permission to modify.

MitigationThe vulnerability requires adding proper capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) to all functions that modify plugin settings or product terms configurations, ensuring only authorized users (typically administrators) can make changes.

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 plugin is installed and active
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Terms & Conditions Per Product' or check via WP-CLI: wp plugin list --status=active --search='terms-conditions'
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active in the WordPress environment
  2. Identify plugin version
    In Plugins list, click on the plugin name to view details, or check the plugin main file header for 'Version:' value, or use: grep -i 'Version:' /path/to/wp-content/plugins/terms-conditions-per-product/*.php
    Affected if The installed version lacks the fix for CVE-2025-30866 (any unpatched version)
  3. Check plugin PHP files for missing capability checks
    Examine the plugin's main PHP files (especially admin/settings pages or AJAX handlers) for functions that modify terms/settings without calling current_user_can() or similar authorization checks near the beginning of those functions
    Affected if Functions that modify plugin settings or product terms lack proper current_user_can() validation at the start
  4. Test authorization with low-privilege account
    Create or use a subscriber-level user account, then attempt to access wp-admin/admin.php?page=terms-conditions-per-product settings or any AJAX endpoint used by the plugin, observing whether access is granted without admin privileges
    Affected if Non-administrator users can access and modify plugin settings or product terms configurations

A user is affected if the 'Terms & Conditions Per Product' plugin is active AND lacks proper current_user_can() capability checks in its settings/modification functions, allowing unauthorized users to alter configurations.
