Details

The Simple History plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive data exposure via Detective Mode due to improper sanitization within the appenddebuginfotocontext() function in versions prior to 5.8.1. When Detective Mode is enabled, the plugin’s logger captures the entire contents of $POST (and sometimes raw request bodies or $GET) without redacting any password‐related keys. As a result, whenever a user submits a login form, whether via native wp_login or a third‐party login widget, their actual password is written in clear text into the logs. An authenticated attacker or any user whose actions generate a login event will have their password recorded; an administrator (or anyone with database read access) can then read those logs and retrieve every captured password.
