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 Magnigenie RestroPress WordPress plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels due to insufficient permission checks on certain actions or endpoints. This broken access control issue affects all versions through 3.2.7 and enables unauthorized users to perform privileged operations.

MitigationUpdate RestroPress to the latest version when available, or review and implement proper capability checks and nonce validation on all sensitive plugin functions to enforce WordPress user roles and capabilities.

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 RestroPress plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for RestroPress, or check if the directory /wp-content/plugins/restropress/ exists on the server
    Affected if RestroPress plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed RestroPress version
    In WordPress admin Plugins page, click on RestroPress to view details, or open /wp-content/plugins/restropress/restropress.php and find the Version: line in the plugin header comment
    Affected if Installed version is 3.2.7 or lower (all versions through 3.2.7 are affected)
  3. Identify sensitive plugin actions without authorization checks
    Search plugin PHP files for wp_ajax_ and admin-post.php hooks, then examine whether these hooks call current_user_can() or a capability check before performing privileged operations
    Affected if Plugin contains actions or endpoints that process requests without verifying user permissions
  4. Check for missing nonce validation
    Search plugin PHP files for form submissions and AJAX handlers, then verify if wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() is called before processing sensitive data
    Affected if Sensitive actions accept requests without nonce token validation

User is affected if RestroPress version 3.2.7 or lower is installed and the plugin exposes actions or endpoints that lack capability checks and nonce validation.
