CVE-2026-118187 Details
Description
The PublishPress Revisions: Duplicate Posts, Submit, Approve and Schedule Content Changes WordPress plugin before 4.3.1 does not verify that a user requesting to duplicate or revise a post has access to that specific post, only that they can edit posts of that type, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to duplicate another user's private, draft, pending or scheduled post into one they own and read its full content.
A vulnerability exists in the PublishPress Revisions WordPress plugin, specifically in versions prior to 4.3.1. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify whether a user has access to a specific post when requesting to duplicate or revise it. Instead, it only checks if the user can edit posts of that type. This flaw enables users with contributor-level access and above to duplicate another user's private, draft, pending, or scheduled post into their own account, thereby gaining access to the full content of the duplicated post.
Users are advised to update the PublishPress Revisions WordPress plugin to version 4.3.1 or later.
