CVE-2026-3499
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 Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce by AdTribes – Product Feeds for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions 13.4.6 through 13.5.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax_migrate_to_custom_post_type, ajax_adt_clear_custom_attributes_product_meta_keys, ajax_update_file_url_to_lower_case, ajax_use_legacy_filters_and_rules, and ajax_fix_duplicate_feed functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger feed migration, clear custom-attribute transient caches, rewrite feed file URLs to lowercase, toggle legacy filter and rule settings, and delete duplicated feed posts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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 Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce plugin versions 13.4.6 through 13.5.2.1 lacks proper nonce validation on five AJAX endpoints (ajax_migrate_to_custom_post_type, ajax_adt_clear_custom_attributes_product_meta_keys, ajax_update_file_url_to_lower_case, ajax_use_legacy_filters_and_rules, and ajax_fix_duplicate_feed). This allows unauthenticated attackers to forge administrative requests by tricking logged-in admins into clicking malicious links, enabling unauthorized feed migrations, cache clearing, URL modifications, settings toggles, and feed deletion.

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.
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce and note the version number displayed, or check the plugin header in the main plugin file (usually in wp-content/plugins/woobox-product-feed-pro/product-feed-pro-for-woocommerce.php or similar)Affected if version is 13.4.6, 13.4.7, 13.4.8, 13.4.9, 13.5.0, 13.5.1, 13.5.2, or 13.5.2.1 (any version from 13.4.6 through 13.5.2.1)
-
Confirm plugin is activeVerify the Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce plugin is currently activated on the site through Plugins > Installed PluginsAffected if the plugin is installed and active, making the vulnerable AJAX endpoints accessible
-
Identify vulnerable AJAX endpoint registrationExamine the main plugin PHP file for the presence of add_action calls registering the following: wp_ajax_ajax_migrate_to_custom_post_type, wp_ajax_ajax_adt_clear_custom_attributes_product_meta_keys, wp_ajax_ajax_update_file_url_to_lower_case, wp_ajax_ajax_use_legacy_filters_and_rules, wp_ajax_ajax_fix_duplicate_feed (or their nopriv variants)Affected if any of these five AJAX actions are registered without a corresponding nonce check function (such as check_ajax_referer or wp_verify_nonce) in the handler callback
You are affected if the Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce plugin is active and running version 13.4.6 through 13.5.2.1 with the vulnerable AJAX endpoints present and lacking nonce validation.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpdate to the latest plugin version and ensure all AJAX actions implement proper nonce verification using wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() before processing requests.
