Description

The Cornerstone WordPress plugin before version 7.8.9 contains an information exposure vulnerability due to missing capability checks on a REST API route. This flaw allows any authenticated user to access metadata of other users, including roles, session token previews, and stored billing/shipping information. The issue affects the premium Cornerstone page builder bundled with the X theme, not the unrelated free Cornerstone plugin from the WordPress.org repository. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-200 (Information Exposure).

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-9709 describes an information exposure vulnerability in the premium Cornerstone WordPress plugin (version 3.0.0 specifically noted) where a REST API route lacks proper capability enforcement. This allows authenticated users to retrieve sensitive metadata about other users, such as roles, session token previews, and billing/shipping fields. The vulnerability does not affect the free Cornerstone plugin available on WordPress.org. No CVSS score or official remediation level is currently provided, and no patch or fix links are available in the data.

Potential Impact

Authenticated users can disclose sensitive metadata of other users, including roles and session token previews, which could aid in further attacks or unauthorized access. Exposure of billing and shipping fields may also lead to privacy violations or data leakage. However, exploitation requires authentication, limiting the attack surface to users with some level of access.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to authenticated users and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid using affected versions in production environments if possible.
