CVE-2024-6694
The WP Mail SMTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This is due to plugin providing the SMTP password in the SMTP Password field when viewing the settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative-level access and above, to view the SMTP password for the supplied server. Although this would not be useful for attackers in most cases, if an administrator account becomes compromised this could be useful information to an attacker in a limited environment.

Aunque esto no sería útil para los atacantes en la mayoría de los casos, si una cuenta de administrador se ve comprometida, esta podría ser información útil para un atacante en un entorno limitado."
