What is known
The My Private Site plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.14 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin's site privacy feature and view restricted page and post content.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-0978, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting my private site, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether my private site is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
