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 AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager plugin allows unauthenticated users to access or modify affiliate link data due to incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to enforce proper permission checks before executing sensitive operations.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks and authorization validation on all plugin functions and API endpoints to verify user permissions before allowing access to affiliate link management features.

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. Check the installed version of AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager. The version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/anytrack/anytrack.php for the 'Version' tag.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.5.5 or lower
  2. Identify users with administrator access
    Go to Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Review which users have the Administrator role assigned.
    Affected if There are multiple administrator accounts or users with lower-privileged roles that should not have admin access
  3. Inspect plugin AJAX handlers for capability checks
    Examine the plugin PHP files in wp-content/plugins/anytrack/ for AJAX action handlers (wp_ajax_ hooks). Open each file and search for 'add_action' calls registering AJAX actions. Verify if the callback functions include current_user_can() or similar capability checks before executing sensitive operations.
    Affected if Any AJAX handler executes sensitive operations (updating settings, managing links, processing data) without first verifying user capabilities
  4. Check admin menu pages for access control
    Inspect the plugin for add_menu_page or add_submenu_page calls. Examine the callback function for each admin page to determine if current_user_can() or a capability check is performed before displaying the page or its data.
    Affected if Admin pages display sensitive data or provide management functions without verifying the user has appropriate capabilities (e.g., manage_options, manage_woocommerce)
  5. Review AJAX action handlers accessible to non-administrators
    Check for AJAX actions registered with add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_*', ...) which allow unauthenticated access, or verify if wp_ajax actions lack proper capability validation in their callback functions.
    Affected if The plugin exposes functions accessible to unauthenticated users or users without administrator privileges

You are affected if the AnyTrack Affiliate Link Manager plugin version is 1.5.5 or lower AND the plugin contains admin functions, AJAX handlers, or pages that execute sensitive operations without verifying user capabilities.
