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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in SaifuMak Add Custom Codes add-custom-codes allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Add Custom Codes: from n/a through <= 4.80.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in the SaifuMak Add Custom Codes WordPress plugin allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access custom code functionality due to incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to code injection features.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks and capability verification (using current_user_can() and nonce validation) on all plugin functions that handle custom code management to enforce role-based access control.

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 installation
    Check if the SaifuMak Add Custom Codes plugin files exist in your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/ directory). Look for a folder named 'saifumak-add-custom-codes' or similar.
    Affected if The plugin folder is present in the plugins directory.
  2. Identify plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file and locate the plugin header comment which typically contains the Version field. Compare this version against any official changelog or release notes if available.
    Affected if The installed version is any version of this plugin, since no fixed version was specified in the advisory.
  3. Test unauthenticated access to custom code endpoints
    Attempt to access the plugin AJAX endpoints (typically under wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) or REST API routes that handle custom code functionality without providing authentication credentials.
    Affected if The plugin responds to requests without requiring login or returns admin-level functionality to unauthenticated users.
  4. Inspect capability checks in plugin code
    Open the main plugin PHP file and search for capability checks such as 'current_user_can', 'manage_options', 'edit_posts', or similar WordPress capability functions. Verify if these checks are present before any custom code injection or management functions.
    Affected if The plugin lacks proper capability checks before executing custom code management functions, or no check exists before sensitive operations.
  5. Verify nonce validation on code operations
    Search the plugin code for 'nonce' or 'wp_verify_nonce' function calls adjacent to custom code save/update/delete operations to confirm security tokens are required.
    Affected if No nonce verification is found before allowing changes to custom code functionality.

Your environment is affected if the SaifuMak Add Custom Codes plugin is installed and its custom code functionality can be accessed or modified without proper WordPress user authentication and capability verification.
