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 Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery WordPress plugin before 2.6.60 exposes an unauthenticated REST endpoint that allows any remote user to modify the option `datalogics_token` without verification. This token is subsequently used for authentication in a protected endpoint that allows users to perform arbitrary WordPress `update_option()` operations. Attackers can use this to enable registartion and to set the default role as Administrator.

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 Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery WordPress plugin before 2.6.60 exposes an unauthenticated REST API endpoint that allows any remote attacker to modify the 'datalogics_token' option without verification. This token is subsequently used to authenticate to a protected endpoint that permits arbitrary WordPress update_option() operations, enabling attackers to enable user registration and set the default role to Administrator for full site compromise.

MitigationUpgrade to version 2.6.60 or later immediately. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin or restrict access to the REST API endpoints at the web server level.

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 the Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery plugin is installed
    Locate the plugin directory in the WordPress filesystem at /wp-content/plugins/ and look for a folder named 'datalogics-ecommerce-delivery' or similar, or check via WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress plugins folder
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (usually index.php or a dedicated main PHP file) in the plugin folder and look for a version comment or constant at the top, or check the WordPress plugin admin page for the version number
    Affected if The version number is lower than 2.6.60 or no version is displayed (indicating an old installation)
  3. Verify the vulnerable REST API endpoint is accessible
    Send a GET request to /wp-json/datalogics/v1/settings or /wp-json/datalogics-ecommerce-delivery/v1/ (adjust path based on actual plugin routing) without authentication and check for a response
    Affected if The endpoint returns a valid JSON response without requiring authentication
  4. Inspect the datalogics_token option value
    Query the WordPress options table for 'datalogics_token' using a database tool or WP-CLI: wp option get datalogics_token
    Affected if A non-empty token value exists in the database (indicates the option is set and potentially exploitable)
  5. Check for signs of compromise via user registration settings
    Query WordPress options for 'users_can_register' and 'default_role' using: wp option get users_can_register && wp option get default_role
    Affected if users_can_register is set to 1 AND default_role is set to 'administrator' (indicates the attack has been performed)

If the Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery plugin is installed with a version before 2.6.60 and the REST API endpoint is accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by this CVE.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade to version 2.6.60 or later immediately. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin or restrict access to the REST API endpoints at the web server level.

Recommended fix High confidence

Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery version 2.6.60 or later

  1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
  2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. Find the Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery plugin
  4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to upgrade to version 2.6.60 or later
  5. Verify the plugin updated successfully by checking the version number
  6. Confirm that the datalogics_token option has not been tampered with by reviewing WordPress options in the database or via wp-cli: wp option get datalogics_token
  7. Enable registration and set default role through WordPress admin only if needed, rather than using the vulnerable endpoint
