# WP Data Access WordPress plugin: missing checks let subscribers scan internal hosts

The WP Data Access WordPress plugin before 5.5.88 has an action that lacks authorisation and CSRF checks. Any logged-in user, including a subscriber, can make the server open connections to arbitrary hosts and ports, including internal ones, and read back the result.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of WP Data Access in the WordPress admin plugin list or with `wp plugin get wp-data-access --field=version`
- unknown whether other checks apply; the sources do not say which action is affected

## Fix

- Update WP Data Access to `5.5.88` or later
- unknown whether a workaround exists before updating

## Timeline

## From the sources
