REST API Log <= 1.7.0 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Sensitive Log Data Disclosure
The REST API Log plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in versions up to, and including, 1.7.0. This is due to missing authentication check in the download_permissions_check() function, which only validated a time-based hash without verifying the requesting user had the required capability to read log entries. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download sensitive REST API log data without authentication by accessing the download endpoint with a valid hash.
