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.

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

CSRF vulnerability in DevriX Restrict User Registration plugin versions <=1.0.1 allows authenticated administrators to be tricked into submitting malicious requests that inject Stored XSS payloads into the application, which then executes when other users view the affected content.

MitigationUntil an official patch is released, disable or remove the plugin; implement anti-CSRF nonce verification on all state-changing admin actions and ensure proper input sanitization and output encoding.

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. Check if DevriX Restrict User Registration plugin is installed
    Locate the plugin directory at wp-content/plugins/drx-restrict-user-registration/ or search for files containing 'DevriX Restrict User Registration' in the WordPress plugins folder
    Affected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (usually drx-restrict-user-registration.php) and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block, or check readme.txt for the version field
    Affected if The version number is 1.0.1 or lower
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    Query the WordPress database table wp_options for the option_name containing 'active_plugins', or use the WordPress admin dashboard to verify the plugin status
    Affected if The plugin appears in the list of active plugins
  4. Verify the plugin handles user registration forms
    Search the plugin source code for form handlers related to user registration (look for 'register', 'registration', 'user_register', or form submission handlers in the plugin directory)
    Affected if The plugin contains code that processes user registration form submissions without apparent nonce verification

You are affected if the DevriX Restrict User Registration plugin is installed, active, and running version 1.0.1 or lower in your WordPress environment.
