CVE-2025-68033Network attack vector

Unauthenticated unpublished-post disclosure via overbroad API query

Published Jan 5, 2026 · Updated Jan 5, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in Custom Related Posts 1.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read unpublished post data through its API. The search API query defaults to post statuses beyond published content, and its authorization logic does not consistently limit results to posts owned by the logged-in user. Patchstack identifies the gate as unauthenticated; the public advisory does not identify the endpoint or exact fields exposed.
