CVE-2026-7523 Details
Description
The Alba Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access arbitrary private alba_card post data, including title, description, assignee, due date, tags, and comments, that is intended to be restricted to Administrators and Editors. The handler is registered via the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook and its nonce is exposed to all site visitors through wp_localize_script on pages containing the [alba_board] shortcode, making this exploitable by unauthenticated users who can access any such page.
A vulnerability exists in the Alba Board plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.1.3. The issue stems from the plugin's failure to properly verify user authorization, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to access private 'alba_card' post data. This data includes titles, descriptions, assignees, due dates, tags, and comments, which should be restricted to Administrators and Editors. The vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated users who can access pages with the 'alba_board' shortcode, as the necessary nonce is exposed to all site visitors.
Users are advised to update the Alba Board WordPress plugin to version 2.1.4 or a newer patched version.
