CVE-2022-0236: Vjinfotech Wp Import Export

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 4.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WP Import Export WordPress plugin (both free and premium versions) is vulnerable to unauthenticated sensitive data disclosure due to a missing capability check on the download function wpie_process_file_download found in the ~/includes/classes/class-wpie-general.php file. This made it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download any imported or exported information from a vulnerable site which can contain sensitive information like user data. This affects versions up to, and including, 3.9.15.

Affected products

• Vjinfotech Wp Import Export: up to and including 3.9.15
• Vjinfotech Wp Import Export Lite: up to and including 3.9.15
