What is CVE-2026-118188?

The PublishPress Revisions plugin for WordPress, specifically versions before 4.3.1, exhibits a significant flaw where it fails to adequately verify user permissions for accessing post content. This oversight permits any authenticated user, including those with minimal roles such as Subscribers, to view the titles, content, and excerpts of private, draft, pending, scheduled, or even trashed posts authored by other users. This could lead to unintended disclosure of sensitive information, necessitating attention to patch and secure affected installations.

Affected Version(s)

PublishPress Revisions: Duplicate Posts, Submit, Approve and Schedule Content Changes 3.9.0 < 4.3.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
