Freemius secret disclosure via distributed source file

Published May 30, 2023 · Updated Jan 10, 2025

Information exposure in WPVibes Dynific Addons for Elementor 1.2.5 through 1.2.7 allows remote attackers to read a Freemius secret key. The plugin distributes the secret in the publicly viewable includes/pro.php source file instead of excluding it from the repository. No authentication or WordPress-site interaction is required, and the revoked key's reported consequence was unpaid Pro purchases using test card numbers.
