Vulnerability Overview
The QA Assistants – Driven by data plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.0.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract sensitive user or configuration data.
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 interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in QA Assistants <= 5.3.0.0 takes an account at Subscriber level or above. 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. For QA Assistants the fix is 5.3.0.1: builds <= 5.3.0.0 are affected, anything from 5.3.0.1 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 5.3.0.1, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: QA Assistants 5.3.0.1 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
