At a glance
CVE-2023-1426 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the WP Tiles WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.1.2. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. No fixed release has been reported yet; treat installations running this software as exposed. Disclosed March 2023, reported by Erwan LR.
Vulnerability Overview
The WP Tiles plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 via the 'get_posts' AJAX function. This can allow authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or above to extract sensitive data including the titles of private or draft posts.
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 interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
WP Tiles <= 1.1.2 carries this weakness at get_posts, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. 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 WP Tiles yet, so installs running <= 1.1.2 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.
