Descriptions

The System Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the sd_db_specs() 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 data key specs.

El complemento System Dashboard para WordPress es vulnerable al acceso no autorizado a los datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función sd_db_specs() 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 especificaciones de claves de datos.
