The SpeedyCache – Cache, Optimization, Performance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 via the 'commentauthor, commentauthoremail' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the full name and email address of returning commenters pre-filled into comment form input fields and persisted as the site-wide cached page by any unauthenticated attacker requesting the same public URL. The read-side handler in advanced-cache.php correctly skips cached delivery for requests carrying commentauthor cookies, but this check is absent on the write path, meaning the cache poisoning is invisible to the victim commenter yet fully exploitable by any unauthenticated attacker with no cookies.
The MCP Server for WordPress WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 does not perform an ownership or sufficient capability check on its workflow create, update and delete REST routes, allowing users with the Contributor role to modify, delete and create site-wide workflow configuration, including workflows created by administrators.
The MCP Server for WordPress WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 does not perform an object-level authorization check on one of its workflow REST routes, allowing users with the Contributor role to disclose the title and publication status of any post, page or custom post type, including other users' private, draft, pending and scheduled content.
The WC Fields Factory WordPress plugin before 4.1.11 does not properly restrict access to, or verify a nonce for, a post-cloning action, allowing Contributor-level users and above to duplicate arbitrary posts of any type or status, including other users' private or draft content, and gain read access to the resulting copy.
The To Do List Member WordPress plugin through 1.6 does not have authorisation or nonce checks in an import routine, and does not validate the location it fetches the imported data from, allowing unauthenticated users to create arbitrary published posts and taxonomy terms on the site.

The Business Name Generator WordPress plugin through 1.3 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfilteredhtml capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
The Comments Import & Export WordPress plugin before 2.5.4 does not restrict its comment export to users able to moderate comments, nor scope the export to content owned by the requesting user, allowing users with the Author role and above to retrieve every comment on the site, including commenter email addresses, IP addresses, unapproved comment content and comment meta.
The WP Travel WordPress plugin before 12.0.2 does not properly verify that the requester owns the booking targeted by its bank-deposit slip submission, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who knows the target customer's email address to change that customer's booking payment state and attach a file to it.

The Smart Post WordPress plugin before 4.0.8 does not check the type, ownership or status of the post it is asked to duplicate, allowing users with contributor privileges and above to copy any private or password protected post into a draft of their own and read its content and metadata.
The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.7.46 does not properly verify ownership of quiz question identifiers, allowing users with instructor access to read other instructors' quiz questions, including the correct answers and explanations.
The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin before 11.2.4 does not check authorisation when returning question bank entries through one of its REST API routes, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to read the questions, hints and correct answer keys of quizzes belonging to other users.
The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.5 does not check the capability required to publish the post type being created, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to publish posts and pages on the site without holding the publish capability.
The Limit Login Attempts Reloaded WordPress plugin before 3.3.5 does not compare logins against its username denylist case-insensitively and does not account for the account's email address, allowing an account an administrator intended to block from logging in to authenticate anyway.
The Duplicate Post WordPress plugin before 1.5.6 does not check the user's capabilities before returning post data, allowing users with a delegated role to read the content, metadata and passwords of posts they are not allowed to access, including other users' private and draft content.
The Duplicate Post WordPress plugin before 1.5.6 does not check that a user may read the content of a post before duplicating it, allowing users with a delegated role to republish another user's password-protected post as publicly readable.
The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) WordPress plugin before 11.2.4 does not perform a per-object ownership check before saving a quiz's front-end text settings, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to modify the text settings of quizzes created by other users.
The LearnPress WordPress plugin before 4.4.4 does not validate a user-supplied URL before the server fetches it, allowing users with the instructor role to induce the server to issue requests to arbitrary external hosts, a blind and bounded server-side request forgery.
The Easy Appointments WordPress plugin before 3.12.28 does not correctly validate shortcode input in one of its block-rendering actions, checking only the first tag of the supplied string against an allowlist while rendering the entire string, allowing users with contributor-level access to execute arbitrary registered shortcodes.
The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not restrict which fields can be written through its customer import, allowing a user with the Amelia Manager role to modify arbitrary columns of any stored user record by supplying them in the import request.
The Event Tickets and Registration WordPress plugin before 5.29.0.1 does not properly verify authorization on some of its seating actions, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to overwrite the seating layout, ticket inventory, and attendee seat assignments of events they do not own.
The Easy Appointments WordPress plugin through 4.0 does not perform capability checks in several of its appointment-management actions, relying only on a nonce that any authenticated user can obtain, allowing users with contributor-level access to read all customers' appointment details and to create, modify, and delete bookings.
The Event Tickets and Registration WordPress plugin before 5.28.4 does not properly escape event titles before outputting them in a ticket history log, allowing users with the Editor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute against higher-privileged users on multisite installations.
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 5.1.5 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfilteredhtml capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
The Email Encoder WordPress plugin before 2.3.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfilteredhtml capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
The OneClick Chat to Order plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.0.9. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the waordernumbersavenumberfield function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to modify WhatsApp phone numbers used by the plugin, redirecting customer orders and messages to attacker-controlled phone numbers.
