CVE-2026-2371: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in wpsoul Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks
The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 12.8.3. This is due to missing authorization and post status validation in the `gspb_el_reusable_load()` AJAX handler. The handler accepts an arbitrary `post_id` parameter and renders the content of any `wp_block` post without checking `current_user_can('read_post', $post_id)` or verifying the post status. Combined with the nonce being exposed to unauthenticated users on any public page using the `[wp_reusable_render]` shortcode with `ajax="1"`, this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the rendered HTML content of private, draft, or password-protected reusable blocks.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2371 is an insecure direct object reference vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks WordPress plugin. The issue arises because the AJAX handler `gspb_el_reusable_load()` does not perform authorization checks such as `current_user_can('read_post', $post_id)` or validate the post status before rendering the content of `wp_block` posts. Additionally, the AJAX nonce is exposed to unauthenticated users on public pages using the `[wp_reusable_render]` shortcode with `ajax="1"`. This combination allows unauthenticated attackers to access the rendered HTML of private, draft, or password-protected reusable blocks, potentially exposing sensitive content.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve the rendered HTML content of private, draft, or password-protected reusable blocks within WordPress sites using the affected plugin. This leads to unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive information. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of content, nor does it impact availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting the confidentiality impact without integrity or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is released, consider disabling the affected AJAX handler or removing the `[wp_reusable_render]` shortcode with `ajax="1"` from public pages to prevent exposure of the nonce and unauthorized content retrieval.
