Vulnerability Overview

The 404 Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.35.17 via the export feature. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract data such as redirects including GET parameters which may reveal sensitive information. On most sites this is unlikely to be the case.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-488: Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session

The product does not sufficiently enforce boundaries between the states of different sessions, causing data to be provided to, or used by, the wrong session.

Remediation

Update to version 2.35.18, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: 404 Solution 2.35.18 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
