CVE-2026-28559 Details
Description
wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to retrieve private and unapproved forum topics via the global RSS feed endpoint. Attackers request the RSS feed without a forum ID parameter, bypassing the privacy and status WHERE clauses that are only applied when a specific forum ID is present in the query.
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in wpForo Forum version 2.4.14. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to access private and unapproved forum topics through the global RSS feed endpoint. The issue arises because the RSS feed can be requested without a specific forum ID, bypassing the privacy and status checks that would normally prevent such access.
Users can update to wpForo Forum version 2.4.16, which addresses this vulnerability by adding permission checks for post approval and topic management actions, and by fixing the RSS feed issue that exposed private and unapproved content.
