Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026

The vd_get_apikey function, registered as the wp_ajax_virusdie_apikey AJAX action, returns the stored key without checking the caller's capabilities. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the exposed credential belongs to the site owner's Virusdie account, and no integrity or availability impact is reported.
