At a glance
CVE-2025-14726 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Widgets for Social Photo Feed WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.8. It carries a CVSS score of 6.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.8.1; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed May 2026, reported by DityaRA.
Vulnerability Overview
The Widgets for Social Photo Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and modification of data due to a missing capability check on the '/trustindex_feed_hook_instagram/troubleshooting' and '/trustindex_feed_hook_instagram/submit-data' REST API endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 1.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access and update plugin settings.
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
Widgets for Social Photo Feed <= 1.8 carries this weakness at and, and reaching it 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. For Widgets for Social Photo Feed the fix is 1.8.1: builds <= 1.8 are affected, anything from 1.8.1 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.8.1, or a newer patched version
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. None of that substitutes for the fix: Widgets for Social Photo Feed 1.8.1 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
