CVE-2023-5713 Information

Description

The System Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the sd_option_value() function hooked via an AJAX action in all versions up to and including 2.8.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to retrieve potentially sensitive option values and deserialize the content of those values.
