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 Starter Sites & Templates by Neve <= 1.2.2 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. For Starter Sites & Templates by Neve the fix is 1.2.3: builds <= 1.2.2 are affected, anything from 1.2.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.2.3, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
