Until an official fix is released, consider restricting access to the AJAX handler or disabling the WP Directory Kit plugin if email confidentiality is critical. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.9 via the wdk_public_action AJAX handler. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract email addresses for users with Directory Kit-specific user roles.
