Email address disclosure via unchecked AJAX export
Published Apr 25, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Missing authorization in myCred before 2.4.3.1 allows remote authenticated users to retrieve blog users' email addresses via AJAX. The mycred-tools-import-export action accepts an export request with user_field=email and returns the address list without an authorization or CSRF check. A subscriber-level account is sufficient, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of registered users' email addresses.
