Description
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.
