Technical details
The plugin does not properly validate that a requested link belongs to the settings set whose display template is used to render it (CWE-200: Improper Access Control / Information Exposure). An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this via a network attack to access sensitive contact and submitter data associated with links that the configuration is set not to display. A fix is available in version 7.10.0.
