Authenticated post disclosure via unchecked campaign identifier
Published Mar 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Authorization bypass in OptinMonster before 2.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to read nonpublic WordPress post content via shortcodes. Campaign-loading shortcode handlers accept a caller-controlled post identifier without confirming that the referenced post is an OptinMonster campaign, then return its content. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and disclosure is limited to arbitrary draft, private, or password-protected posts rather than data modification.
