Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Quickcreator – AI Blog Writer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions 0.0.9 to 0.1.17 through the /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/dupasrala.txt file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view the plugin's API key and subsequently use that to perform actions on the site like creating new posts and injecting XSS payloads.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Quickcreator WordPress plugin versions 0.0.9 through 0.1.17 exposes its API key via the publicly accessible /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/dupasrala.txt file, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain the credential and perform actions including post creation and XSS injection.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version beyond 0.1.17 and immediately rotate any exposed API keys to prevent continued exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate the Quickcreator plugin directory
    Check if the /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/ directory exists on your WordPress server using a file manager or SSH
    Affected if The directory exists, indicating the plugin is installed
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (typically quickcreator.php) in /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/ and locate the version string in the plugin header comment
    Affected if The reported version falls between 0.0.9 and 0.1.17 inclusive
  3. Check for the exposed file
    Access the URL /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/dupasrala.txt in a web browser or via curl/wget without authentication
    Affected if The file exists and returns content, likely containing an API key
  4. Verify file accessibility
    Confirm the dupasrala.txt file can be accessed without logging in or having admin privileges
    Affected if The file is publicly accessible to any visitor without authentication

If the Quickcreator plugin version is between 0.0.9 and 0.1.17 and the file dupasrala.txt is publicly accessible, your environment is affected and the API key may be exposed.
