5DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.5 does not perform authorization or nonce checks on one of its authenticated AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to retrieve stored contact messages and associated user data belonging to other users.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized data exposure in the WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin (all versions before 1.5.5) allows any authenticated user - including low-privilege Subscribers - to retrieve stored contact messages and associated personal data belonging to other users by invoking an unprotected AJAX endpoint. The root cause is the complete absence of WordPress authorization checks and nonce verification on an authenticated AJAX action, meaning the plugin performs no ownership or permission validation before returning sensitive inter-user data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | WP Directory Kit must be installed and active on the WordPress site at a version below 1.5.5. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: network-accessible, low complexity, requiring only an authenticated session of any privilege level, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequence. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a free Subscriber account on an affected WordPress site - or uses an existing low-privilege credential - and issues a crafted POST request to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php referencing the unprotected action name, using the publicly available WPScan proof-of-concept as a guide. The server responds with stored contact messages and associated personal data belonging to other registered users, requiring no further privilege escalation or interaction from a victim. |
| Remediation | Update WP Directory Kit to version 1.5.5 or later, the vendor-confirmed patched release that introduces proper authorization checks and nonce verification on the affected AJAX action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
