CVE-2026-74923 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Document Gallery WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 5.1.1.

Vulnerability Overview

The Document Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive user or configuration data.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Document Gallery <= 5.1.1 takes no account at all. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Document Gallery yet, so installs running <= 5.1.1 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.

Remediation

No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.

How does WordSec protect against this?

This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. No patched version is recorded yet, which is the case where a filtering layer matters most, because there is nothing to update to.
