CVE-2026-42644Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthenticated draft FAQ disclosure via public REST routes

Published Apr 29, 2026 · Updated Apr 29, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in WPDeveloper BetterDocs 4.3.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to retrieve draft FAQ data via REST requests. FAQBuilder registers the faq-posts, uncategorised-faq, and category-search REST routes with an always-true permission callback, while its query includes draft posts. No authentication is required; exposure requires an active plugin and stored nonpublic FAQ content, and the observed consequence is disclosure of that content and related metadata.
