CVE-2026-109980 Details
Description
The Related Posts for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.0 via the 'rp4wp_view' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract the titles and publication dates of all private posts site-wide, normally restricted to Editor-level users and above. The page's existing authorization check only verifies edit_posts and edit_post on a parent post the attacker owns, both of which any Contributor satisfies, leaving no effective gate against reading other authors' private posts.
A vulnerability allowing sensitive information exposure has been identified in the Related Posts for WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 3.0.0. The issue arises from the 'rp4wp_view' parameter, which allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to access the titles and publication dates of all private posts across the site. This information is typically restricted to users with Editor-level access and above. The vulnerability exists because the plugin's authorization check only verifies permissions on posts owned by the attacker, leaving private posts from other authors accessible.
Users are advised to update the Related Posts for WordPress plugin to version 3.0.1 or a newer patched version.
