SSP Debug WordPress Plugin Sensitive Information Exposure Vulnerability
Vulnerability
A vulnerability allowing sensitive information exposure has been identified in the SSP Debug WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.0.

Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to access sensitive information stored in the PHP error logs, which could include details that aid in further attacks or exploitation.
