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
The WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) WordPress plugin before 3.1.40 does not perform an authorization check on the immediate-processing path of its data subject access request feature, allowing unauthenticated attackers to generate and download the full personal-data export (including name, postal address, phone number, email, and comment content) of any user, customer, or commenter by supplying their email address.

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 confidence

The WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin before v3.1.40 lacks authorization validation on its data subject access request immediate-processing endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger a full personal-data export (name, postal address, phone, email, comments) for any user by supplying their email address, exploiting an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) flaw.

MitigationUpdate the WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin to version 3.1.40 or later, which implements proper authorization checks on the data export functionality.

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. Identify if WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR)' or 'GDPR' in the plugin list. Note the version number displayed.
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list with a version number visible in the plugin details.
  2. Compare installed version against vulnerable range
    Locate the installed version number (usually shown in the plugin list or in the plugin's main PHP file header under 'Version'). Compare it to version 3.1.40.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 3.1.40 (for example: 3.1.35, 3.1.2, 3.0.8, etc.).
  3. Determine if data export functionality is enabled
    Check the plugin settings in WordPress admin under the WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) settings area. Look for any data subject access request, data export, or personal data export configuration options.
    Affected if The data export or personal data request feature is enabled in the plugin settings.
  4. Verify the immediate-processing endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to access the data export endpoint (typically a form submission or AJAX handler related to GDPR data export requests). This endpoint may be accessible via wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or a REST API route.
    Affected if The endpoint responds without requiring authentication or authorization validation (returns 200 OK when submitted with a target email address).

A user is affected if the WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin is installed with a version lower than 3.1.40 AND the data export feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated access to export personal data for any user via email address.
