CVE-2026-17018
MediumCVSS 4.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk13th percentile - higher than 13% of all known CVEs
Summary
The CubeWP Framework WordPress plugin through version 1.1.30 does not perform a per-object read authorization check, nor restrict which metadata keys may be requested, on one of its REST API endpoints, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to read arbitrary post metadata (including that of other users' draft, pending, private, and password-protected posts) and arbitrary user metadata of any user, including administrators.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes leakage of sensitive data, including administrator metadata, which can lead to privilege escalation and compromise of the entire installation.
Recommendation
Update the plugin and implement per-object authorization checks and restrict metadata access in REST API.
