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 Age Verification & Identity Verification by Token of Trust plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to and including 4.0.2. This is due to the handle_export_table() function being registered on the WordPress 'init' hook, which fires for all requests, including those from unauthenticated visitors, without any capability check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download a CSV file containing sensitive WooCommerce donation data, including order dates, order IDs, charitable donation amounts, and admin-only order edit URLs, simply by visiting any page on the site with the 'tot_export_table' GET parameter set to a numeric value (0–3).

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 Token of Trust plugin registers handle_export_table() on WordPress's 'init' hook without capability verification, allowing any visitor to export sensitive WooCommerce donation data (order IDs, amounts, dates, admin URLs) by adding the 'tot_export_table' GET parameter (values 0-3) to any page URL.

MitigationAdd a capability check (e.g., current_user_can('manage_options')) at the start of handle_export_table() to restrict access to administrators only, or move the function to an admin-only hook.

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. Verify Token of Trust plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory for the 'token-of-trust' folder or look for 'Token of Trust' in the Plugins admin page
    Affected if The plugin folder 'token-of-trust' exists in wp-content/plugins/ or the plugin appears in your WordPress plugins list
  2. Locate handle_export_table function
    Search plugin files for 'function handle_export_table' or 'handle_export_table()' using grep, grep -r "handle_export_table" wp-content/plugins/token-of-trust/ or a file search
    Affected if The function is found in the plugin codebase
  3. Check if function is hooked to 'init' without capability check
    Search for add_action('init' or add_action("init" and examine whether 'manage_options' or capability check appears before handle_export_table is called
    Affected if add_action('init', 'handle_export_table') exists without a preceding current_user_can() check in the same file or function
  4. Test if export parameter is accepted
    Add '?tot_export_table=1' or '?tot_export_table=0' to any URL on your site (e.g., example.com/?tot_export_table=1) and observe if a CSV download triggers or donation data appears
    Affected if Requesting any page with tot_export_table=0,1,2, or 3 triggers a file download or displays sensitive data without authentication
  5. Check for WooCommerce donation data exposure
    If the export triggers, examine the downloaded file or output for WooCommerce order IDs, amounts, dates, and admin URLs
    Affected if The exported data contains WooCommerce order information including amounts and dates without logging in

Your environment is affected if the Token of Trust plugin is installed AND the handle_export_table function is hooked to 'init' without a capability check, allowing unauthenticated access via the tot_export_table GET parameter.

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.

From vendor data
Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Add a capability check (e.g., current_user_can('manage_options')) at the start of handle_export_table() to restrict access to administrators only, or move the function to an admin-only hook.
