At a glance
CVE-2024-12159 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Optimize Your Campaigns WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 3.1. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. No fixed release has been reported yet; treat installations running this software as exposed. Disclosed January 2025, reported by Joshua Chan.
Vulnerability Overview
The Optimize Your Campaigns – Google Shopping – Google Ads – Google Adwords plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.1 due to the print_php_information.php being publicly accessible. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive configuration data that can be leveraged in another attack.
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-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Optimize Your Campaigns <= 3.1 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Optimize Your Campaigns yet, so installs running <= 3.1 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
