- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

## Affected

- brechtvds WP Recipe Maker: through 10.2.3

## Description

The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'ajax_search_recipes' and 'ajax_get_recipe' functions in all versions up to, and including, 10.2.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive recipe information including draft, pending, and private recipes that they shouldn't be able to access.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on brechtvds WP Recipe Maker, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
