Description

The Advanced Access Manager plugin before 6.6.2 for WordPress displays the unfiltered user object (including all metadata) upon login via the REST API (aam/v1/authenticate or aam/v2/authenticate). This is a security problem if this object stores information that the user is not supposed to have (e.g., custom metadata added by a different plugin).

Affected products

• AAM Advanced Access Manager – Restricted Content, Users & Roles, Enhanced Security and More: before 6.6.2 — fixed in 6.6.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: AAM Advanced Access Manager – Restricted Content, Users & Roles, Enhanced Security and More 6.6.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
