CVE-2026-9013: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in rocklobsterinc Bogo
The Bogo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.1 via the bogo_rest_create_post_translation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract the raw title, content, excerpt, and password of any private, draft, or password-protected post by triggering its duplication via the translation endpoint and reading the returned title.raw, content.raw, and excerpt.raw fields of the duplicated post. This vulnerability is exploitable against posts written in a non-default locale, as authenticated subscribers can request a translation into the site's default locale to pass the locale-only permission gate. While subscribers can trigger the endpoint, this is only impactful at the Contributor-level as they can actually read the duplicated content.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-9013 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Bogo WordPress plugin by rocklobsterinc. It affects all versions up to and including 3.9.1. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions can exploit the bogo_rest_create_post_translation REST endpoint to duplicate posts written in a non-default locale and receive sensitive fields such as title.raw, content.raw, and excerpt.raw of private, draft, or password-protected posts. While subscribers can trigger the endpoint, only contributors and higher roles can read the duplicated sensitive content due to permission restrictions. This vulnerability leads to sensitive information exposure without impacting integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of sensitive content from private, draft, or password-protected posts in WordPress sites using the Bogo plugin. Attackers with subscriber-level access can trigger duplication of posts in non-default locales and extract raw content fields, potentially exposing confidential information. There is no impact on data integrity or availability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch is currently documented. Until a patch is available, restrict subscriber and contributor access where possible and monitor for unusual use of the bogo_rest_create_post_translation endpoint. Review and limit permissions for translation-related REST API endpoints to prevent unauthorized duplication and data exposure.
