Vulnerability In WP GDPR Compliance Plugin

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

For those of you who are using the WP GDPR compliance plugin, please make sure that you have updated to the latest version, namely 1.4.3.

Any versions prior to this latest update leave your sites wide open to attacks, with disastrous results.

This vulnerability seems to only be present for those running WordPress sites, like we use here, so if you haven't already upgraded, please do so at your very earliest.

The problem is quite an issue, so much so, that this plugin was actually removed from the WordPress.org repository after critical security issues were discovered.
