NVD · unedited

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

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Clickbank Niche Storefronts WordPress plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions that result in persistent malicious script injection (Stored XSS). The lack of anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on sensitive form submissions enables attackers to craft malicious requests that execute in the context of the affected site.

MitigationImplement WordPress nonces on all admin-facing forms and AJAX actions to prevent CSRF, combined with proper input sanitization and output encoding to block Stored XSS. Update the plugin to version 1.3.6 or later if available.

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 Clickbank Niche Storefronts plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and confirm 'Clickbank Niche Storefronts' appears in the installed plugins list, or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder containing 'clickbank' or 'niche-storefronts'
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, locate Clickbank Niche Storefronts and read the version number displayed beneath the plugin name, or open the main plugin PHP file and locate the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.3.6 (the fixed version)
  3. Confirm administrator access exists
    Verify that at least one user account with Administrator role exists on the WordPress site, as the CSRF attack targets authenticated admin sessions
    Affected if Administrator-level users are present and active on the site
  4. Inspect admin forms for nonce protection
    Using browser developer tools or by reviewing plugin source code in /wp-content/plugins/, examine admin-facing forms (in any admin menu pages created by this plugin) and check whether each form includes a wp_nonce_field() call or a nonce verification in the handler
    Affected if Sensitive admin forms (such as those saving settings or content) lack WordPress nonce fields or do not verify nonces on submission

A user is affected if the Clickbank Niche Storefronts plugin is installed with a version below 1.3.6 and contains admin forms that do not implement WordPress nonce verification, enabling CSRF-to-Stored XSS attacks.
