CVE-2025-14943 is an authorization vulnerability classified under CWE-863 found in the Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 8.7.2. The vulnerability stems from the 'getShipItemFullText' function, which performs insufficient authorization checks by only verifying that the user has the 'read' capability (Subscriber-level) and a valid nonce. However, it fails to confirm whether the user has permission to access the specific post requested. As a result, authenticated users with minimal privileges (Subscriber role or higher) can retrieve the full content of posts that are password-protected, private, or in draft status, which should normally be inaccessible. This leads to sensitive information exposure, compromising confidentiality. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability and does not require user interaction beyond authentication. The CVSS v3.1 score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited impact confined to confidentiality. No patches or known exploits have been reported as of the publication date (January 10, 2026). The vulnerability is significant because WordPress is widely used, and Blog2Social is a popular plugin for automating social media posts, often containing sensitive unpublished content. Attackers exploiting this flaw could gain unauthorized access to sensitive business or personal information, potentially leading to data leaks or reputational damage.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential content managed within WordPress sites using the Blog2Social plugin. This is particularly critical for companies that use WordPress for internal communications, content management, or marketing drafts that are not yet public. Exposure of private or draft posts could lead to leakage of intellectual property, strategic plans, or personal data, potentially violating GDPR requirements around data confidentiality and protection. Since the vulnerability requires only Subscriber-level authentication, it could be exploited by insiders or compromised low-privilege accounts, increasing the threat surface. Although the vulnerability does not affect system availability or data integrity, the confidentiality breach could result in financial losses, regulatory penalties, and damage to brand reputation. Organizations relying heavily on WordPress and social media automation tools should consider this vulnerability a moderate risk that warrants prompt attention.

1. Immediately audit user roles and permissions within WordPress to ensure that Subscriber-level accounts are limited and monitored, reducing the risk of exploitation by low-privilege users. 2. Restrict access to the Blog2Social plugin’s functionality by implementing additional access controls or custom code that enforces post-specific authorization checks until an official patch is released. 3. Monitor the plugin vendor’s announcements closely and apply security updates as soon as they become available. 4. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the Blog2Social plugin if sensitive unpublished content is stored on the affected WordPress sites. 5. Implement logging and alerting for unusual access patterns to private or draft posts to detect potential exploitation attempts. 6. Educate content managers and administrators about the risk and encourage strong password policies and multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of account compromise. 7. Review and enhance overall WordPress security posture, including limiting plugin installations to trusted sources and minimizing the number of users with elevated privileges.
