AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting access to the plugin's AJAX handlers or disabling the plugin if the API key exposure risk is unacceptable. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The Pretty Google Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the pgcal_ajax_handler() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the Google API key set in the plugin's settings.
