Description
The Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.2. This is due to a misconfigured authorization check on the 'getShipItemFullText' function which only verifies that a user has the 'read' capability (Subscriber-level) and a valid nonce, but fails to verify whether the user has permission to access the specific post being requested. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to extract data from password-protected, private, or draft posts.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Blog2Social plugin contains a misconfigured authorization check that allows any authenticated user with Subscriber or higher capability to retrieve the full text of private, password-protected, or draft posts. This results in confidential post content being exposed to unauthorized users. The weakness is classified as CWE‑863, an authorization bypass that compromises the confidentiality of content stored in WordPress. The vulnerability cannot be exploited for code execution, but it permits privileged information disclosure that could aid phishing or business intelligence leaks.

Affected Systems

Any installation of the Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler WordPress plugin up to and including version 8.7.2 is affected. The issue is present in all prior releases of the plugin that have not applied the patch delivered in newer versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a low‑to‑moderate risk, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must first authenticate to WordPress with at least Subscriber‑level credentials. Once authenticated, they can retrieve the contents of any post marked as private or draft from the plugin’s endpoint. Since the plugin verifies only a basic 'read' capability and a nonce, the lack of a per‑post authorization check is the core issue.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Blog2Social plugin to version 8.7.3 or later, which includes the correct authorization check.
  • Restrict Subscriber and other low‑privilege roles from permission to read private or draft posts by removing the 'read_private_posts' capability from those roles.
  • Verify that the 'getShipItemFullText' endpoint no longer returns private or draft content for a Subscriber account; if it does, block the endpoint or apply a custom role‑based access filter in WordPress to enforce proper authorization.
