WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Insert Pages < 3.7.0 - Contributor+ Arbitrary Posts/Pages Access

Description

The plugin allows users with a role as low as Contributor to access content and metadata from arbitrary posts/pages regardless of their author and status (ie private), using a shortcode. Password protected posts/pages are not affected by such issue.

Proof of Concept

[insert page='page_slug' display='all']

Where page_slug is the slug of a private post/page created by (eg.) an admin.

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 3.7.0
