Descriptions

The System Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the sd_global_value() function hooked via an AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive global value information.

El complemento System Dashboard para WordPress es vulnerable al acceso no autorizado a los datos debido a una verificación de capacidad faltante en la función sd_global_value() conectada mediante una acción AJAX en todas las versiones hasta la 2.8.7 incluida. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de suscriptor y superior, recuperen información confidencial de valor global.
