CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to extract titles and full content excerpts from private and draft posts across all user roles. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'keyword' parameter, enabling unauthorized data access through a nonce available to contributors. WordPress site administrators and security teams should prioritize this issue to protect sensitive content from potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.37 via the 'keyword' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract titles and full content excerpts of private, draft, pending, trashed, and auto-draft posts authored by any user, including Administrators and Editors. The required nonce is emitted on /wp-admin/post-new.php, which is accessible to Contributor-level users via the edit_posts capability, meaning any Contributor can obtain the nonce needed to trigger the injection.
