When Detective Mode is enabled, the plugin\u2019s logger captures the entire contents of $_POST (and sometimes raw request bodies or $_GET) without redacting any password\u2010related keys. As a result, whenever a user submits a login form, whether via native wp_login or a third\u2010party 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.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Severity:<\/strong> 4.9 | MEDIUM<br \/>\n<br \/>\nVisit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID : CVE-2025-5760 Published : June 6, 2025, 12:15 p.m. | 29\u00a0minutes ago Description : The Simple History plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive data exposure via Detective Mode due to improper sanitization within the append_debug_info_to_context() function in versions prior to 5.8.1.
