Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Show Posts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.5

Description The WP Show Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on multiple AJAX functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to view arbitrary post metadata, list posts, and view terms and taxonomies.

Recommendations For WP Show Posts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.5, update to a version higher than 1.1.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AJAX functions until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
