Authenticated metadata disclosure via missing object authorization
Published Dec 13, 2025 · Updated Dec 13, 2025
Information exposure in EDGE22 Studios Ltd. GenerateBlocks 2.1.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary user metadata. The generateblocks/v1/meta/ REST handlers accept arbitrary entity IDs and meta keys after checking only edit_posts, without verifying object ownership or restricting keys to a safe allowlist. Contributor access is sufficient to query another user's metadata, including profile fields stored by integrations such as WooCommerce.
