AI Analysis

Impact

The zportals WordPress plugin, in versions prior to 6.4.2, contains an AJAX action that is called without performing a capability or nonce verification. A subscriber‑level account can trigger this endpoint and receive the display name and email address for every user on the site, including administrators. This flaw results in the unintended public disclosure of personal user information and is identified as a CWE‑200 weakness.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects WordPress sites that have the zportals plugin installed with a version earlier than 6.4.2. The plugin is listed as a vendor product of Unknown:zportals, and no other affected versions are specified beyond the generic pre‑6.4.2 range.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a medium severity assessment. The EPSS score being less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The most likely attack vector is the AJAX endpoint, and it requires an authenticated subscriber account to trigger. Successful exploitation does not provide privilege escalation or code execution, only access to user contact data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the zportals WordPress plugin to version 6.4.2 or later to eliminate the unchecked AJAX action.
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, remove or disable the vulnerable wp_ajax action in the plugin or add capability/nonce checks to restrict subscriber‑level access.
  • Adjust user role capabilities to prevent subscribers from accessing that AJAX action, or limit the use of the Subscriber role for accessing sensitive endpoints.
