WP Photo Album Plus public action exposes autoloaded options
WP Photo Album Plus before 9.2.07.002 exposes wppa_ajax_callback() through wp_ajax_nopriv_wppa and /wp-photo-album-plus/endPoint/. The gettogo action accepts slug, reads get_option(slug + '_togo') and get_option(slug + '_status'), returns both values and deletes the constructed _status option when its value is Ready. Because slug is unrestricted, an unauthenticated attacker can target unrelated autoloaded options ending in those suffixes. Which options are exposed or deleted is installation-dependent; arbitrary option names without a matching suffix are not affected by the disclosed path.

Technical description
The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.07.002 does not perform any capability or nonce check on one of its public endpoint actions and builds an option name from a client-supplied value without restricting it to its own options, allowing unauthenticated users to read the value of other autoloaded options whose names end in a matching suffix.
