Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Deadbee.
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure due to storage of exported CSV files in a publicly accessible directory with predictable filenames in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive user data including emails, IP addresses, usernames, roles, and location data by directly accessing the exported CSV file.
