Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to recipe data access. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected AJAX functions if possible.
Description
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'ajax_search_recipes' and 'ajax_get_recipe' functions in all versions up to, and including, 10.2.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive recipe information including draft, pending, and private recipes that they shouldn't be able to access.
