Hi! we noticed that we can easily bypass any and all security feature of wordpress once we have access to a publicly readable table.
We can only substitue the ID by a new ID and we have access to the table, and bypassing wordpress security :-(
This is a major security threat to our web site. Would it be possible for WPdatatable to generate and use GUID (UUID) instead of sequential digits as table descriptor?
Hi! we can use wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_wdtable&table_id=13 or wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_wdtable&table_id=XXX which will give us the content of any table.
FYI: we will open a CVE on 2020.03.20 to disclose this vulnerability.

Hello Yves
Thanks for pointing this out to us.
Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how to reproduce the issue.
Can you, please explain in a bit more detail, and I will forward it to our development team for testing.
Kind Regards,

Thank you Yves
Our developers checked this out, and it turns out it happens only for Server-Side tables. They will work on resolving the issue as soon as possible.
Once again - thank you for pointing that out to us! Much appreciated.
