Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories. Avoid granting Contributor or higher privileges to untrusted users to limit exposure.

Description

The Duplicate Post, Page and Any Custom Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.5 via the 'dpp_duplicate_as_draft' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract potentially sensitive data from draft, scheduled (future), private, and password protected posts.
