Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the dsi_pdf_generator and dsi_csv_generator functions that fail to properly validate user permissions before exporting data. An unauthenticated attacker can send crafted requests to bypass access controls and retrieve restricted "Circolare" content and registered user information. The attack requires network access to the WordPress site; no user interaction or authentication is needed. The publicly accessible RSS feed at /circolare/feed/ can be exploited to enumerate and discover exposed content. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 2.18.3, and patches are available in the latest release.
