CVE-2024-0212Network attack vector

Authenticated API data disclosure via unguarded proxy

Published Jan 29, 2024 · Updated Jun 6, 2025

Improper access control in Cloudflare WordPress plugin 4.12.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read Cloudflare API data. The cloudflare_proxy AJAX action invokes Hooks::initProxy without restricting access to Administrators, so lower-privileged WordPress accounts can relay requests through stored API credentials. A valid low-privilege WordPress account and a configured Cloudflare API connection are required; disclosed data is limited to what those credentials authorize.
