CVE-2024-31298Network attack vector

Unauthenticated log disclosure via web-visible default directory

Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Sensitive log exposure in Joel Hardi User Spam Remover 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read log files over the web. The default logging configuration writes registration and account-deletion records beneath the plugin directory, making the files web-accessible. The exposure requires logging to remain enabled at its default location, and the disclosed data is limited to information recorded by the plugin.
