Summary

The List category posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 0.95.0 via the sanitize_status function. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to extract titles, full content, excerpts, dates, authors, and custom-field metadata of other users' pending-review, scheduled, and trashed posts by embedding a crafted [catlist] shortcode in their own draft and previewing it.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves unauthorized access to confidential content of other users' posts, potentially leading to data leakage, privacy breaches, and exploitation of information before its intended publication.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the List category posts plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability, and to restrict user permissions to the minimum necessary.
