Access violation vulnerability in The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended 3.0.8

The WP Extended plugin for WordPress, known as The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit, has a security vulnerability in all versions up to 3.0.8. This vulnerability is called Insecure Direct Object Reference and it affects the duplicate_post function. The problem is that there is no validation on a key that can be controlled by a user. This means that authenticated attackers who have Contributor-level access or higher can duplicate posts written by other authors, even admins. This also means they can duplicate password-protected posts, which exposes the content.
