Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
ConvertKit for WordPress can place email addresses in a log file, potentially exposing customer or subscriber information. The issue affects versions through 2.4.5. Its documented impact is limited to confidentiality; the supplied sources do not identify data alteration, service disruption, or broader account compromise.
Executive priority
Prioritize prompt inventory and exposure validation, especially for public WordPress sites processing subscriber data. Treat confirmed public log access as a privacy and incident-response concern. Immediate emergency action is not supported solely by the supplied evidence, but affected deployments should not remain unreviewed.
Technical view
CVE-2024-31245 is a CWE-532 sensitive-information logging flaw in the ConvertKit WordPress plugin through version 2.4.5. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network-accessible, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation without user interaction, with low confidentiality impact and no documented integrity or availability impact.
Likely exposure
WordPress sites using ConvertKit version 2.4.5 or earlier are potentially affected. Practical exposure depends on whether the relevant log exists, contains email addresses, and is remotely accessible. The supplied sources do not describe the log location, default accessibility, or affected configuration conditions.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector describes a remotely reachable issue requiring no privileges or user interaction. However, the source bundle reports no CISA KEV listing and provides no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit availability, or observed attacks.
Researcher notes
The public record establishes the affected range, CWE-532 classification, and CVSS vector, but offers limited implementation detail. It does not identify the specific log path, triggering workflow, exposed email context, fixed release, or exploitation evidence. Validation should avoid collecting or redistributing real subscriber data unnecessarily.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites and identify ConvertKit plugin versions through 2.4.5.
- Check current ConvertKit vendor or Patchstack guidance for an approved fixed version or mitigation.
- Prevent unauthorized web access to application log files using existing security controls.
- Handle or remove exposed logs according to approved retention and incident-response procedures.
Validation and detection
- Confirm each WordPress installation's ConvertKit plugin version and configuration.
- Securely inspect relevant logs to determine whether email addresses were recorded.
- Verify sensitive log files cannot be retrieved by an unauthenticated remote user.
- Review web access records for unexpected requests targeting log files or related paths.

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
