Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, consider restricting access to the plugin or disabling it if possible to prevent unauthorized metadata access. Monitor for vendor updates or security advisories regarding this vulnerability.

Description

CVE-2026-1314 is a medium severity vulnerability in the iberezansky 3D FlipBook – PDF Embedder, PDF Flipbook Viewer, Flipbook Image Gallery WordPress plugin. It arises from a missing authorization check in the send_post_pages_json() function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access metadata of flipbook pages, including those that are draft, private, or password-protected. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.16.17. There is no official patch or remediation guidance currently available from the vendor. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability, only confidentiality of metadata. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can access metadata of flipbook pages that should be restricted, including draft, private, and password-protected content. This exposure impacts confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability of the system or data. The information disclosed is limited to metadata, not the full content of the flipbooks.

Summary

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-1314 in the iberezansky 3D FlipBook – PDF Embedder, PDF Flipbook Viewer, Flipbook Image Gallery WordPress plugin is due to a missing capability check in the send_post_pages_json() function. This flaw permits unauthenticated users to retrieve metadata for flipbook pages that are draft, private, or password-protected. The issue affects all versions up to 1.16.17. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to confidentiality.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #4OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
