Technical details

The vulnerability is a sensitive data disclosure flaw (CWE-200) in the plugin's public template-data action endpoint. The endpoint fails to implement proper access controls, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve arbitrary user records (including email and role information) and arbitrary site options without authentication or authorization checks. The attack requires only network access to the WordPress site and no user interaction; an attacker can directly query the template-data action to extract sensitive data. The vulnerability was fixed in version 4.3.0.
