What is known
The Maintenance Page plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Basic Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view post titles and content when the site is in maintenance mode.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-1462, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting maintenance page, 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 maintenance page 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.
