Authenticated metadata disclosure via unchecked shortcode keys
Published Jan 11, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in SevenSpark DTX 4.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary WordPress post metadata. The CF7_get_custom_field and CF7_get_current_user shortcodes accept user-controlled identifiers and meta keys without validating authorization, then return the selected metadata. Contributor-level access or higher is required, and the consequence is limited to metadata disclosure with no reported write or service-interruption capability.
