CVE-2026-9011 Details
Description
The Ditty – Responsive News Tickers, Sliders, and Lists plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.65. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full item content of non-public Dittys — including drafts, pending, scheduled, and disabled entries — by enumerating integer post IDs against the ditty_init AJAX endpoint. Unlike the non-AJAX init() counterpart, init_ajax() does not verify that the requested Ditty has a 'publish' post status before loading and returning its items, allowing content that administrators explicitly withheld from public view to be extracted.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in the Ditty – Responsive News Tickers, Sliders, and Lists plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.1.65. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly verify user authorization for certain actions. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to access the full content of non-public Ditty items, such as drafts and scheduled entries, by manipulating post IDs through the ditty_init AJAX endpoint. Unlike its non-AJAX counterpart, the init_ajax() function lacks a check for the 'publish' status before returning item data, thereby exposing content that should remain private.
Users can update the Ditty News Tickers, Sliders, and Lists plugin to version 3.1.66 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
