CVE-2025-7690
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 · uneditedThe Affiliate Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'affiplus_settings' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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 · high confidenceThe Affiliate Plus WordPress plugin versions up to 1.3.2 lack proper nonce validation on the 'affiplus_settings' page, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge requests by tricking administrators into clicking malicious links. This CSRF vulnerability enables unauthorized configuration changes to the plugin settings.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed plugin versionNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'Affiliate Plus' and check the version number displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, open wp-content/plugins/affiliate-plus/affiliate-plus.php and read the Version header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The version listed is 1.3.2 or lower (any version up to and including 1.3.2).
-
Confirm plugin is activeIn the WordPress admin Plugins screen, verify that Affiliate Plus shows as 'Active' under the plugin status.Affected if The plugin is active and running at a vulnerable version.
-
Verify settings page existsAccess the plugin settings page by navigating to the WordPress admin sidebar. Look for a menu item labeled 'Affiliate Plus', 'Affiliates', or similar that leads to the 'affiplus_settings' configuration page.Affected if The affiplus_settings page is accessible in the WordPress admin panel.
-
Check for nonce implementation in settings handlerIf you have file access, examine the PHP file that handles the affiplus_settings form submission (typically in the plugin directory). Search for wp_nonce_field, check_admin_referer, or verify_nonce functions in the form handling code.Affected if No nonce verification (wp_nonce_field, check_admin_referer, or similar) is found in the code that processes the settings form POST requests.
A user is affected if the Affiliate Plus plugin version is 1.3.2 or lower, the plugin is active, and the settings page lacks proper nonce validation for CSRF protection.
