Overview

CVE-2024-3073 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 13, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

The Easy WP SMTP by SendLayer – WordPress SMTP and Email Log Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to plugin providing the SMTP password in the SMTP Password field when viewing the settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative-level access and above, to view the SMTP password for the supplied server. Although this would not be useful for attackers in most cases, if an administrator account becomes compromised this could be useful information to an attacker in a limited environment.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
