Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Optimize Images ALT Text (alt tag) & names for SEO using AI plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.1

Description The plugin is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure due to its utilization of cocur and failure to prevent direct access to the generate-default.php file. This allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application, which can aid other attacks. However, the information displayed is not useful on its own and requires another vulnerability to be present for damage to an affected website.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.1.1, consider restricting direct access to the generate-default.php file as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Additionally, ensure that the plugin's configuration prevents unauthorized access to sensitive files.
