Description
The aBlocks – Gutenberg Blocks, User Dashboard Builder, Popup Builder, Form Builder & Animation Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.18.0 via the 'id' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract the full rendered body content of any password-protected post of any post type by embedding the shortcode with the target post's ID. Author-level attackers and above can additionally publish a post embedding the shortcode, exposing the password-protected content to unauthenticated visitors.
A vulnerability allowing sensitive information exposure exists in the aBlocks WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 2.18.0. This issue arises from the 'id' parameter, enabling authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to access the full rendered body content of any password-protected post, regardless of post type. The vulnerability can be exploited by embedding a shortcode with the target post's ID.
