Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPQA Builder WordPress plugin versions prior to 5.7

Description The issue allows any logged-in user to read other users' private messages using the message id, which can easily be brute forced, due to a lack of authorization checks before displaying private messages.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.7, update to version 5.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to private messages or implementing additional authorization checks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
