Unauthenticated private-post disclosure via unchecked debug function
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
Missing authorization in Featured Image from URL (FIFU) 5.2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to read private and password-protected posts. The fifu_api_debug_posts() function returns restricted post data without checking whether the requester has a capability permitting access. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of post contents rather than modification or service interruption.
