Hello 3APA3A!

I want to warn you about security vulnerabilities in WordPress Attack Scanner plugin for WordPress.

These are Information Leakage vulnerabilities. This is security plugin. In my 63 advisories about different vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins (http://websecurity.com.ua/3397/) I've wrote about security plugins many times. Previous time it was plugin Wordfence Security.

Affected products:

Vulnerable are all versions of WordPress Attack Scanner - both Free and Pro (commercial) versions of the plugin. Checked in WP-Attack-Scanner-Free 0.9.5.beta.

Details:

Information Leakage (WASC-13):

Folder "path" can be WP-Attack-Scanner or WP-Attack-Scanner-Free.

Unrestricted access to the data - they can be accessed in the browser without authorization. Even the data is encrypted, but by default the password is "changepassword". If the password was not changed, then the data is easily decrypting. If it was changed, then the password can be picked up.
