CVE-2026-2128: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in cloudways Breeze Cache

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-2128cvecve-2026-2128cwe-200

Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: cloudways
Product: Breeze Cache

Description

The Breeze plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.2 This is due to improper verification of the `wordpress_logged_in_` cookie in the `inc/cache/execute-cache.php` file when the "Cache Logged-in Users" setting is enabled. The plugin parses the username directly from the cookie value (e.g., `username|hash`) using `substr()` to retrieve the corresponding cache file but fails to verify the session's cryptographic signature or validity with WordPress core. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply a crafted cookie (e.g., `wordpress_logged_in_fake=admin|fake`) to trick the plugin into serving the cached HTML content generated for an administrator, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information such as private posts (including their full content), the Admin Bar, WordPress nonces, and other data visible only to logged-in administrators or other users.

Technical Analysis

The Breeze WordPress plugin improperly handles the wordpress_logged_in_ cookie in the inc/cache/execute-cache.php file when caching logged-in users. It extracts the username from the cookie without verifying the cryptographic signature or session validity against WordPress core. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to supply a crafted cookie (e.g., wordpress_logged_in_fake=admin|fake) to access cached HTML content generated for administrators, leading to exposure of sensitive information such as private posts, admin interface elements, and security tokens.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can gain access to cached content intended for authenticated users, including administrators. This results in the disclosure of sensitive information such as private posts (full content), the WordPress Admin Bar, nonces, and other data normally restricted to logged-in users. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, it is recommended to disable the "Cache Logged-in Users" setting in the Breeze plugin to prevent exposure of sensitive cached content to unauthorized actors.
