| Exploitation Conditions | The target WordPress site must have the wp.insider Affiliates Manager plugin installed and activated at version 2.9.50 or earlier, and the site must be reachable over the network - typical of any public WordPress deployment. No authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration is required per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L), so any internet-exposed site running the affected plugin is in scope. Limiting factors: the description does not specify which exact endpoint or data fields are exposed, so exploitation depends on knowing or reverse-engineering the vulnerable route (trivial once the patched diff or Patchstack advisory details are public); sites that have disabled the affected plugin feature or restricted /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and /wp-json/ at the edge are not exploitable. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:N/A:N) marks this as network-reachable, low-complexity, and fully unauthenticated with high confidentiality impact - a profile that makes mass scanning straightforward against any internet-exposed WordPress site running the plugin. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the supplied data, but Patchstack-disclosed WordPress plugin flaws of this class are commonly weaponized by automated scanners within weeks of disclosure. Conflicting/missing signals to note explicitly: the description says 'Sensitive Data Exposure' without naming which data is leaked (affiliate PII? payout details? API keys?), and the lower-bound affected version is not specified - only the upper bound '<= 2.9.50.' Treat as a real priority for any site running this plugin, but the absence of POC and KEV data means urgency is driven by the unauthenticated-network-C:H profile, not confirmed exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker scans the internet for WordPress sites running Affiliates Manager <= 2.9.50, then issues unauthenticated HTTP requests to a vulnerable plugin endpoint (likely an admin-ajax action or REST route) that returns sensitive affiliate data such as account details, PII, referral statistics, or payout information. The attacker harvests this data at scale across many sites and uses it for follow-on fraud, phishing of affiliates, or sale on data-broker markets - no user interaction or credentials required given the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026
Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in the Affiliates Manager WordPress plugin versions 2.9.50 and earlier allows remote attackers to retrieve confidential information without credentials. The CVSS 7.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) reflects high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effects, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Disclosed by Patchstack, the issue affects WordPress sites running the wp.insider Affiliates Manager plugin used to manage affiliate marketing programs.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade the Affiliates Manager plugin to a version newer than 2.9.50 as soon as the wp.insider release fixing this issue is published; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/affiliates-manager/vulnerability/wordpress-affiliates-manager-plugin-2-9-50-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability for the exact fixed version. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls include deactivating the Affiliates Manager plugin entirely (trade-off: affiliate program functionality is offline), placing the affected WordPress site behind a WAF with virtual-patching rules from Patchstack or Wordfence targeting this CVE (trade-off: relies on signature coverage and adds an inline dependency), or restricting access to the plugin's admin-ajax actions and REST routes via web-server ACLs that limit which IPs may call the vulnerable endpoints (trade-off: may break legitimate affiliate signup or tracking flows). After patching, audit access logs for unusual GET/POST traffic to admin-ajax.php and /wp-json/ endpoints belonging to the plugin, and rotate any affiliate credentials or API keys that may have been disclosed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Affiliates Manager is a WordPress plugin by wp.insider (CPE cpe:2.3:a:wp.insider:affiliates_manager) that handles affiliate registration, tracking, commissions, and payouts - meaning it stores PII, payment details, referral data, and affiliate account information. The root cause maps to CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), which typically arises when a plugin endpoint, REST route, or AJAX handler returns more data than it should, omits access control checks, or echoes server-side fields in responses intended for unauthenticated viewers. In WordPress plugins, this class of bug commonly stems from missing capability checks on admin-ajax.php actions, public REST API endpoints registered without permission_callback, or template logic that exposes object fields meant to be internal.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure in Affiliates Manager <= 2.9.50 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Affiliates Manager WordPress plugin (versions 2.9.50 and below) contains an unauthenticated vulnerability exposing confidential affiliate program and business data to unauthorized remote access. Organizations running this plugin face immediate risk of data breach without requiring attackers to authenticate, and no vendor patch is currently available to remediate the issue.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable plugin if operationally feasible to eliminate attack surface; (2) Deploy WAF rules blocking unauthorized access to affiliate manager endpoints; (3) Restrict database access and monitor for unusual data queries; (4) Implement network-level access controls via IP whitelisting to trusted sources only.
