CVE-2025-12540Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Google Analytics token disclosure via embedded OAuth secrets

Published Jan 7, 2026 · Updated Jan 7, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in ShareThis Dashboard for Google Analytics 3.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain an OAuth token. A publicly accessible credentials.json file embeds the Google Analytics client_ID and client_secret in plaintext, enabling a crafted ShareThis authorization link to redirect the resulting token to an attacker-controlled site. Exploitation requires an administrator signed in to both WordPress and Google Analytics to click the crafted link; the token exposes Google Analytics data without reported write or service-interruption impact.
