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 Javo Core theme allows authentication bypass. Attackers can potentially trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions or hijack their sessions by forcing malicious requests. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.0.0.266.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) on all state-changing operations, add SameSite cookie attributes, and validate request referer headers. Update to a patched version once 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. Locate Javo Core theme files
    Search the web server file system for the 'javo' directory in the themes folder (typically /wp-content/themes/ or similar path depending on the CMS installation).
    Affected if The javo theme directory exists on the server.
  2. Identify the installed version
    Open the theme's style.css file (usually at /wp-content/themes/javo/style.css) and look for the 'Version:' header in the theme comments at the top of the file.
    Affected if The version listed is 3.0.0.266 or any lower version number.
  3. Confirm the theme is active
    Check the CMS admin panel or database for active theme configuration. For WordPress, inspect the wp_options table for the 'template' or 'stylesheet' option value, or check via wp-admin > Appearance > Themes.
    Affected if Javo Core is set as the active/current theme.
  4. Verify anti-CSRF protection is absent
    Examine the theme's PHP files for state-changing operations (forms, AJAX endpoints) and check whether they include anti-CSRF token validation (look for functions like wp_verify_nonce, check_ajax_referer, or custom token checks).
    Affected if No anti-CSRF token validation is found on form submissions or AJAX actions within the theme.

A user is affected if Javo Core theme version 3.0.266 or lower is installed and actively used without any external anti-CSRF mitigations in place.
