The Bread plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information exposure in versions up to and including 2.9.12.

The function exports all plugin configuration settings including the protection_password field, which is stored in plaintext. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the PDF protection password by accessing the /?export-meeting-list=1 endpoint.
