Users should upgrade to version 2.3.4 or later once available or apply any official fixes provided by the vendor. Until then, consider restricting subscriber access or disabling the affected AJAX functionality if possible.
Description
The WPC Admin Columns WordPress plugin before 2.3.4 does not have authorisation checks in one of its AJAX actions, allowing users with a role as low as subscriber to read arbitrary user, post and term metadata, including data belonging to administrators.
