## Affected

- Unknown Ezoic: from 2.6.35, fixed in 2.23.1

## Description

The Ezoic WordPress plugin before 2.23.1 does not properly restrict access to some of its content export functionality, allowing unauthenticated attackers to trigger a server-side export of the site's database, including user password hashes and password reset tokens, as well as to persistently change some of its settings.

## What to do
