Vulnerability Overview

The WP Import – Ultimate CSV XML Importer for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of sensitive information due to a missing authorization check on the showsetting() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.33. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access or higher, to extract sensitive information including OpenAI API keys configured through the plugin's admin interface.

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

WP Ultimate CSV Importer <= 7.33 carries this weakness at showsetting(), and reaching it takes an account at Author 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 WP Ultimate CSV Importer the fix is 7.33.1: builds <= 7.33 are affected, anything from 7.33.1 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 7.33.1, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?
