What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, site administrators should ensure the Zapier API key is properly configured to prevent exploitation via the api_key parameter. Avoid leaving the Zapier API key unset or defaulted to values that could be bypassed by type juggling.
Description
The New User Approve WordPress plugin versions up to and including 3.0.9 have a vulnerability that allows unauthorized data disclosure. This occurs due to insufficient validation of the API key in the Zapier REST API endpoints, where a loose equality comparison enables unauthenticated attackers to exploit PHP type juggling. Attackers can retrieve personally identifiable information such as usernames and email addresses of users with various approval statuses if the Zapier API key is not configured.
