CVE-2026-10034
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 WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.39. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply an arbitrary victim email address and trigger immediate SAR processing via the process_now and is_ajax parameters, receiving tokenized download links (zip_link, pdf_link) in the HTTP response that expose the victim's personal data — including WordPress account details, comment author names, email addresses, IP addresses, and comment content — without any proof of ownership. The nonce used for the CSRF check is publicly rendered by the SAR shortcode form and is shared across all anonymous visitors, meaning any unauthenticated attacker can trivially obtain a valid nonce and bypass this gate entirely.
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 WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) WordPress plugin versions up to 3.1.39 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where the plugin fails to verify that users are authorized to request personal data. Unauthenticated attackers can obtain a publicly-rendered nonce from the SAR form, then use it to trigger SAR processing via the process_now and is_ajax parameters with any victim email address, receiving tokenized download links that expose the victim's personal data including WP account details, comment author names, emails, IPs, and comment content.

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.
-
Confirm WP DSGVO Tools plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory or wp-admin plugins list for 'WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR)' or 'DSGVO Tools'Affected if The plugin is installed and appears in your WordPress plugins list
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) and note the version number displayedAffected if The version number is 3.1.39 or lower
-
Verify SAR feature is enabledNavigate to the plugin settings in WordPress admin (typically under DSGVO/GDPR settings) and check if the SAR (Subject Access Request / Right to Access) feature is activatedAffected if SAR functionality is enabled in the plugin configuration
-
Test SAR form accessibilityVisit the public SAR request form on your site (usually at /?page_id=XX with SAR form shortcode, or check for a frontend form with fields for email request) while logged out (unauthenticated)Affected if The SAR form is publicly accessible without authentication
-
Inspect SAR form for nonce exposureView the page source of the public SAR form and search for hidden form fields containing 'nonce' or '_wpnonce' values that are rendered for anonymous visitorsAffected if A nonce value is rendered in the HTML for unauthenticated users on the SAR form
If the WP DSGVO Tools plugin version is 3.1.39 or lower, the SAR feature is enabled, and the plugin exposes nonce values to unauthenticated visitors on the SAR form, then your environment is affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of the plugin that implements proper authorization verification, ensures nonces are not shared across anonymous visitors, and requires proof of ownership before releasing personal data via SAR requests.
