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
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in scriptsbundle Nokri nokri allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects Nokri: from n/a through <= 1.6.4.

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 Nokri theme (version 1.6.4 and below) allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions by forging requests. The lack of proper anti-CSRF token validation on state-changing operations enables malicious actors to execute commands on behalf of authenticated users.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) on all forms and state-changing endpoints, validate Origin/Referer headers, and configure SameSite attributes on session cookies.

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. Determine Nokri theme version
    Locate the theme version information in the Nokri theme files, typically found in style.css header comments or within the theme documentation/options panel. Compare the installed version against 1.6.4.
    Affected if The installed Nokri theme version is 1.6.4 or lower.
  2. Identify state-changing endpoints
    Review the Nokri theme for forms and AJAX endpoints that perform user actions such as profile updates, job submissions, messaging, or settings changes. These are typically found in template files and PHP handler files within the theme directory.
    Affected if The theme contains forms or endpoints that process user-submitted data without page reloads.
  3. Inspect forms for anti-CSRF tokens
    View the HTML source of key forms (registration, login, profile edit, job post, contact forms) in the Nokri theme. Check for the presence of a hidden token field (commonly named _wpnonce, csrf_token, or similar) that is submitted with the form.
    Affected if Forms lack a hidden anti-CSRF token field or the token is not validated server-side.
  4. Verify server-side token validation
    Examine the PHP files that process form submissions for the presence of token validation logic. Look for calls to nonce verification functions or explicit token comparison checks before processing state-changing requests.
    Affected if Form handler files do not validate the anti-CSRF token before executing the requested action.
  5. Check session cookie SameSite attribute
    Inspect the session cookies set by the site when logged in. Use browser developer tools or a network inspector to view cookie headers and verify if the SameSite attribute is set to Lax or Strict.
    Affected if Session cookies are missing the SameSite attribute or have it set to None without Secure flag.

You are affected if the Nokri theme version is 1.6.4 or below AND state-changing forms lack anti-CSRF token validation.
