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 · moderate confidence

Missing authorization vulnerability in Cozy Vision SMS Alert (sms-alert) plugin allows attackers to access or manipulate SMS order notification settings due to incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to sensitive order notification functionality.

MitigationImplement proper authentication and authorization checks (capability/permission verification) on all SMS Alert order notification endpoints and functions. Restrict access to administrative users 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. Confirm SMS Alert plugin is installed
    Check for the presence of the sms-alert plugin directory in wp-content/plugins/ and identify the installed version from the plugin header or readme file
    Affected if The plugin is installed and the version falls within the affected range or is unknown/unpatched
  2. Identify plugin version
    Locate the version string in the plugin's main PHP file (plugin header comment) or readme.txt
    Affected if The installed version cannot be verified as patched or is older than the patched version
  3. Verify access to SMS notification settings
    Attempt to access the SMS order notification settings panel or endpoint while logged in as a non-administrator user (subscriber, editor, author, or contributor role)
    Affected if Settings are accessible or modifiable without admin-level permissions
  4. Check capability requirements on AJAX actions
    Inspect plugin source code for AJAX handlers related to order notifications and verify if current_user_can() or similar permission checks are present
    Affected if AJAX endpoints lack proper capability verification and can be triggered by any authenticated user
  5. Review nonce validation on settings save
    Examine the code handling SMS alert configuration saves to determine if nonce verification is implemented
    Affected if Settings can be modified without valid nonce tokens or proper authorization checks
  6. Test order notification trigger endpoints
    Submit a test order notification request using a low-privilege user session to verify if the plugin rejects unauthorized access
    Affected if Order notification settings can be viewed or altered by users lacking administrative capabilities

The environment is affected if the SMS Alert plugin is installed and non-administrator users can access or modify SMS order notification settings without proper authorization checks
