Descriptions

The SmartCrawl WordPress plugin before 3.8.3 does not prevent unauthorised users from accessing password-protected posts' content.

El complemento SmartCrawl de WordPress anterior a 3.8.3 no impide que usuarios no autorizados accedan al contenido de las publicaciones protegidas con contraseña.

The Simple Social Media Share Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.2 via meta tags. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve data from password protected posts that may have sensitive information.
