Vulnerability Description

The AppPresser plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to improper missing encryption exception handling on the 'decrypt_value' and on the 'doCookieAuth' functions in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.

This can only be exploited if the 'openssl' php extension is not loaded on the server.
