What is CVE-2026-118637?
The Simple Download Monitor plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that fails to adequately verify the visibility of content accessed through its shortcodes. This loophole potentially allows users with minimal permissions, such as the Contributor role, to view sensitive information including titles and descriptions of private, draft, and other non-public posts. As a result, site administrators may inadvertently expose confidential content, leading to privacy concerns and unintended data disclosure.
Affected Version(s)
Simple Download Monitor 0 < 4.1.3
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.
