Technical details

The GamiPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in versions up to and including 7.9.4. This occurs due to missing validation on the user-controlled 'access' parameter within AJAX functions. While the plugin attempts to use a 'gamipress' nonce for security, this nonce is broadcast to all front-end users via wp_localize_script, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass the check. An attacker can exploit this to retrieve private activity log entries, including data from integrated plugins like WooCommerce, LearnDash, and BuddyPress.
