Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access where possible and monitor user activities related to post duplication. Avoid granting unnecessary permissions to users. Follow updates from the vendor for a security patch.
Description
The atec Duplicate Page & Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post duplication due to missing authorization validation on the duplicate_post() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.20. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to duplicate arbitrary posts, including private and password-protected posts, leading to data exposure.
