What is CVE-2023-6064?

The PayHere Payment Gateway plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.2.12 poses a notable vulnerability by automatically generating log files that contain sensitive transaction information. These logs are created in a way that makes them accessible to anyone who can navigate to the related directory, potentially exposing private customer data and transaction details. This exposure could lead to significant privacy breaches for users and could be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the integrity of transactions. Website owners utilizing this plugin should update to the latest version to mitigate these risks.
