CVE-2024-1330
CVE-2024-1330: WordPress plugin vulnerability. Discover how CVE-2024-1330 allows unauthorized access to sensitive database options. The kadence-blocks-pro WordPress plugin before version 2.3.8 fails to properly restrict access to shortcode functionalities. This flaw permits users with contributor roles or higher to potentially leak arbitrary options from the database. The SVRS score of 45 indicates a moderate risk, though active exploitation ('In The Wild' tag) suggests a need for prompt evaluation and patching. While the CVSS score is relatively low (4.3), the possibility of information disclosure leading to further exploitation makes this a significant security concern. Addressing this vulnerability is critical for maintaining the security and integrity of WordPress websites using the affected plugin. Immediate update to the latest version of the plugin mitigates risk.
