Threat database

The WP Popular Posts WordPress plugin versions up to and including 7.4.2 have a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information from non-public post objects. This occurs because the plugin's REST API endpoint improperly permits access without proper permission checks, exposing fields such as raw title, content body, password, meta, status, and guid. The vulnerability arises from the 'context' parameter being passed directly to WordPress core functions without enforcing access controls.

The The WordPress Popular Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.0. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
