AI-suggested
Users should restrict contributor and author-level access until a fix is available. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Avoid embedding shortcodes with untrusted 'id' parameters in posts. Consider removing or disabling the plugin if sensitive content confidentiality is critical.
Description
The aBlocks – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress up to version 2.18.0 contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to expose the full rendered content of any password-protected post by using a shortcode with the post's ID. Users with author-level access or higher can publish posts embedding this shortcode, which exposes the protected content to unauthenticated visitors.
