AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin AJAX endpoint if possible, and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'download_ip2location_redirection_backup' AJAX action. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users. Follow vendor updates for an official patch or temporary workaround.

Description

The IP2Location Redirection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'download_ip2location_redirection_backup' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.33.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download the plugin's settings.
