Descriptions

The Poll Maker – Best WordPress Poll Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ays_poll_create_author function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract email addresses by enumerating them one character at a time.

El complemento Poll Maker – Best WordPress Poll Plugin para WordPress es vulnerable al acceso no autorizado a los datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función ays_poll_create_author en todas las versiones hasta la 5.1.8 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados extraigan direcciones de correo electrónico enumerándolas un carácter a la vez.
