WordPress · Wp Simple Shopping Cart · CVE-2023-1431
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.3
**Description**
The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to view sensitive information that should be limited to administrators only. This information can include `first name`, `last name`, `email`, `address`, `IP Address`, and more. The problem arises because the plugin saves shopping cart data exports in a publicly accessible location, specifically at the `/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/includes/admin/` endpoint.
**Recommendations**
For WP Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.3, consider restricting access to the `/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/includes/admin/` endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the plugin's data export feature to minimize the risk of sensitive information exposure. Update to a version later than 4.6.3 when available.
