What the vulnerability does
The WordPress GDPR plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'WordPress_GDPR_Data_Delete::check_action' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary users.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
The WordPress GDPR plugin through version 2.0.2 lacks proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify site data. An attacker can send network requests without authentication to alter plugin settings or user-related information. Site administrators should update immediately to a version newer than 2.0.2.
What an attacker can do
Modify plugin settings or user data without logging in.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers can alter GDPR plugin configuration or user records without your knowledge or permission.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access only; no authentication or user interaction required.
