Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.8

Description: The issue allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to duplicate posts written by other authors, including admins, due to missing validation on a user-controlled key in the duplicate post function. This includes the ability to duplicate password-protected posts, revealing their contents.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.0.8, update to a version that fixes the Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the duplicate post function until a patch is available.
