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 CridioStudio ListingPro Lead Form listingpro-lead-form allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects ListingPro Lead Form: from n/a through <= 1.0.7.

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 ListingPro Lead Form WordPress plugin versions 1.0.7 and below contain a missing authorization vulnerability where certain functionality is not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs). This allows users to access functionality they should not have permission to access, likely due to missing capability checks or nonce validation on sensitive actions.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks and capability verification on all sensitive actions within the plugin. Update to version 1.0.8 or later when available, and restrict admin AJAX actions to authorized users only.

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 if ListingPro Lead Form plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='lead-form' --status=active
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active with no version shown or version 1.0.7 or below
  2. Determine the exact plugin version
    Check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/lead-form/lead-form.php or view the plugin details in WordPress Admin > Plugins
    Affected if Version displayed is 1.0.7 or lower
  3. Identify sensitive AJAX action endpoints
    Search plugin PHP files for add_action('wp_ajax_*) calls and examine if they include current_user_can() or nonce verification before executing sensitive operations
    Affected if AJAX handlers perform database writes, user data access, or lead management without capability checks
  4. Inspect admin action handlers for authorization gaps
    Review plugin files for admin-post.php handlers, admin_init hooks, or other admin functionality that modifies data without checking user capabilities
    Affected if Sensitive actions like creating, updating, or deleting leads can be triggered by any authenticated user regardless of role

If the ListingPro Lead Form plugin is active at version 1.0.7 or below, the missing authorization vulnerability is present in your environment.
