Description
The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.07.002 does not perform any capability or nonce check on one of its public endpoint actions and builds an option name from a client-supplied value without restricting it to its own options, allowing unauthenticated users to read the value of other autoloaded options whose names end in a matching suffix.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in the WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin prior to 9.2.07.002. A public endpoint action named gettogo fails to enforce capability or nonce checks and constructs an option name from a client‑supplied value, allowing an unauthenticated user to read any autoloaded option whose name ends with a matching suffix. The result is that sensitive configuration data can be exposed over the network without authorization.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin. Precise version coverage is limited to releases before 9.2.07.002, but no detailed version list is provided in the official data.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the exploit requires only a standard HTTP request to a public endpoint and does not rely on any prior user authentication, the attack vector is unauthenticated web access. The CVSS score of 7.5 and the EPSS score of <1% indicate a high-severity vulnerability with a low likelihood of exploitation, yet still significant enough to pose a considerable threat. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can trigger the endpoint to retrieve arbitrary option values, potentially exposing configuration data stored in the WordPress options table. The lack of mitigating controls suggests that vulnerable installations could easily suffer data leakage without any additional attacker effort.
