Summary

The Animated Text Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the 'animated-text' shortcode. The atb_shortcode_handler() function fetches an arbitrary post by attacker-supplied ID and, without capability checks or post_type validation, displays its content, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to read rendered content of any published post, including non-public custom post types.

Risk Assessment

Potential leakage of post content that should not be publicly accessible, which may breach data confidentiality and expose internal organizational information.

Recommendation

Update the Animated Text Block plugin to a version later than 1.2.6 and consider limiting the number of users with Contributor-level access.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Animated Text Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 1.2.6 via the 'animated-text' shortcode. This is due to the atb_shortcode_handler() function fetching an arbitrary post by attacker-supplied ID and, in the 'publish' branch, calling displayContent() with no capability check and no validation that the post's post_type is the plugin's own CPT or is otherwise viewable (is_post_type_viewable()). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the rendered block content of any published post, including posts of non-public custom post types (public=false, show_in_rest=false) that WordPress would otherwise hide from direct URLs and the REST API.
