Alba Board <= 2.1.3 — Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Sensitive Information Disclosure via 'card_id' Parameter

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under Task & Project Management – Alba Board.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.

What to do

1. Update to version 2.1.4, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch Task & Project Management – Alba Board to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Teerachai Somprasong.

The Alba Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access arbitrary private alba_card post data, including title, description, assignee, due date, tags, and comments, that is intended to be restricted to Administrators and Editors. The handler is registered via the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook and its nonce is exposed to all site visitors through wp_localize_script on pages containing the [alba_board] shortcode, making this exploitable by unauthenticated users who can access any such page.
