Summary

The WP Data Access WordPress plugin before version 5.5.79 does not validate the column names it accepts on one of its unauthenticated AJAX actions, and the nonce guarding that action does not cover them, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary columns of the database table the affected front-end form is bound to, including user password hashes where that table is the users table.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes unauthorized access to sensitive data, including password hashes, which may lead to compromise of user accounts.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the WP Data Access plugin to version 5.5.79 or later, which includes the security fix.
