WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
MPCX Lightbox 1.2.2 - 1.2.5 - Unauthenticated Non-Public Post Content Disclosure
Description
The plugin does not have any authorisation or authentication on one of its AJAX actions available to unauthenticated users, nor does it check the status of the requested post, allowing unauthenticated visitors to retrieve the title, content or excerpt of arbitrary posts, including private, draft, pending, trashed and password-protected ones.
Exploitation requires the plugin's caption source to have been enabled by an administrator; it is disabled in the default configuration.
