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 solwininfotech Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect trash-duplicate-and-301-redirect allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect: from n/a through <= 1.9.1.

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

The Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.9.1) contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This likely means the plugin fails to properly verify user permissions or nonce tokens before executing sensitive operations, enabling authenticated users with limited privileges to perform actions they should not have access to.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version once available, which should include proper authorization checks. Until then, restrict user permissions and monitor for suspicious activity.

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 plugin is installed
    Access WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and locate 'Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect' in the list. Alternatively, check the plugin directory at /wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'trash-duplicate-and-301-redirect' or similar.
    Affected if Plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Determine installed version
    In the plugins list, click on the plugin to view details and locate the version number displayed under the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/trash-duplicate-and-301-redirect.php and look for the 'Version:' field in the plugin comments.
    Affected if Version number is 1.9.1 or lower
  3. Confirm plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify the plugin shows as 'Active' (not deactivated or inactive).
    Affected if Plugin status shows Active
  4. Identify at-risk user accounts
    Navigate to Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Review the role column to identify accounts with Subscriber, Contributor, or other limited roles. These roles typically should not have access to bulk content deletion or redirect management.
    Affected if Site has users assigned to roles below Administrator or Editor who have access to the site content that could be targeted for duplication or redirect manipulation

Environment is affected if the plugin is installed, active, at version 1.9.1 or lower, and the site contains user accounts with limited privileges (Subscriber, Contributor, or similar) who could exploit the missing authorization to perform administrative actions they should not access.
