Private post disclosure via unchecked shortcode post ID
Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in bPlugins bSlider 1.1.23 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read private WordPress posts. The bsb-slider shortcode accepts an attacker-supplied post ID, retrieves that post with get_post(), and renders its first content block without checking post visibility or caller authorization. Contributor-level access is required; exposure is limited to private-post content selected by ID, with no reported modification or service interruption.
