CVE-2022-0236

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Import Export WordPress plugin versions up to, and including, 3.9.15

Description The issue is related to unauthenticated sensitive data disclosure due to a missing capability check on the wpie process file download function found in the ~/includes/classes/class-wpie-general.php file. This allows unauthenticated attackers to download any imported or exported information from a vulnerable site, which can contain sensitive information like user data.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.9.15, update to a version higher than 3.9.15 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the wpie process file download function until a patch is available.
