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 Ays Pro Easy Form easy-form allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Easy Form: from n/a through <= 2.7.9.

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 · low confidence

The Ays Pro Easy Form plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.7.9 contains a missing authorization vulnerability where the plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks on certain functionality. This allows users with lower privilege levels to potentially access or execute functions that should be restricted to administrators or higher-privileged users due to incorrectly configured security levels.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of the Easy Form plugin that implements proper authorization checks and capability verification for all user-accessible functions, or implement interim access control at the web server level to restrict sensitive endpoints to administrator sessions 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. Identify the installed plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins > look for 'Ays Pro Easy Form' or 'Easy Form' plugin and note the version number displayed
    Affected if the version listed is 2.7.9 or lower
  2. Review WordPress user roles
    Go to WordPress admin > Users > Users List to see what roles exist (such as Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor)
    Affected if any user roles below Administrator exist in the system
  3. Inspect plugin AJAX endpoints
    Search the plugin directory (wp-content/plugins) for PHP files containing 'add_action' with 'wp_ajax' or 'wp_ajax_nopriv' hooks; examine which callbacks handle sensitive operations
    Affected if the plugin registers AJAX actions accessible to lower-privileged users without capability checks like 'manage_options'
  4. Verify capability checks in plugin functions
    Review plugin source code for functions performing sensitive operations (database changes, settings modifications, file handling) and check if they include current_user_can() or similar authorization checks
    Affected if sensitive functions lack proper capability verification or rely on incorrect security level configurations

You are affected if the plugin version is 2.7.9 or lower AND your site has user accounts with roles below Administrator, since lower-privileged users could potentially access restricted plugin functions due to missing authorization checks.
