 "title": "WP Data Access – App Builder for Tables, Forms, Dashboards, Charts & Maps <= 5.5.87 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Remote Database Connection Test",
 "description": "The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification on the check_remote_database_connection() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.87. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to make the server open database connections to arbitrary attacker-specified hosts and ports with supplied credentials and view the connection results. This can be used to probe database credentials and internal network services.",
