Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data vulnerability in Simply Static Simply Static simply-static.This issue affects Simply Static: from n/a through <= 3.1.3.

AnalysisAI

Sensitive information disclosure in the Simply Static WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.1.3) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access data that should not be exposed in generated static site output. Publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS scoring (0.29%, 53rd percentile) suggests exploitation interest is modest. The flaw was reported through Patchstack's audit program and is tagged as an information disclosure issue.

Technical ContextAI

Simply Static is a WordPress plugin that converts a dynamic WordPress site into a static HTML export, which is then deployed to hosting providers or CDNs. The root cause is CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), meaning the plugin includes data in its output (static export, HTTP responses, or generated files) that was never intended to be publicly accessible. Because static site generators traverse and serialize WordPress content, configuration, or internal state, any over-broad inclusion logic can leak credentials, internal paths, draft content, or configuration data into the generated artifacts that get published.

Affected ProductsAI

The Simply Static WordPress plugin (vendor slug: simply-static) is affected in all versions from an unspecified starting point through and including 3.1.3. No CPE string was provided in the input data, and no vendor advisory URL was supplied beyond the Patchstack reporter attribution; Patchstack's vulnerability database (patchstack.com) is the authoritative reference for this disclosure.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Simply Static plugin to a version newer than 3.1.3 - the description indicates the issue affects versions up to and including 3.1.3, implying a fixed release exists in the 3.1.4+ line, though no exact fix version was independently confirmed in the input data; verify the current patched version at the Patchstack advisory and the WordPress.org plugin page before deploying. As a compensating control until patching, deactivate the Simply Static plugin (trade-off: static export functionality is lost), restrict the plugin's admin interface and any generated export download endpoints via web server ACLs or a WAF rule, and audit previously generated static exports for inadvertently included sensitive data such as configuration files, credentials, or non-public content, removing or regenerating them after the upgrade.
