CVE-2024-33575 is a sensitive information exposure issue in the WordPress User Meta plugin through version 3.0. An unauthenticated remote actor may be able to view limited confidential data. The provided sources do not identify the exposed data type or a fixed version.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority WordPress exposure issue. Prioritize internet-facing sites handling user data, especially where the plugin supports registration, profiles, or account metadata.
Technical view
The issue is classified as CWE-200 with CVSS 3.1 score 5.3: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N. It affects User Meta user-meta through 3.0. Integrity and availability impact are not indicated in the supplied metadata.
Likely exposure
Public WordPress sites running the User Meta plugin version 3.0 or earlier are the likely exposure group. Sites not using this plugin are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV, and the supplied sources do not state active exploitation. CVSS indicates remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity access with low confidentiality impact, but no exploit details are provided.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to CVE and Patchstack metadata. The bundle does not identify vulnerable endpoints, exposed fields, proof-of-concept status, or a fixed release. Avoid assuming broader WordPress impact beyond the named plugin and versions.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the User Meta plugin.
- Identify any installations running version 3.0 or earlier.
- Check Patchstack and vendor guidance for fixed-version information.
- Update, disable, or remove the plugin according to vendor guidance.
- Limit public exposure of affected functionality where operationally feasible.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether User Meta is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version for each instance.
- Review vendor or Patchstack advisories for remediation status.
- Check web logs for unusual access to User Meta-related routes.
- Document accepted risk if no vendor fix is available.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
