Summary

The Animated Text Block plugin for WordPress by bplugins is affected in versions up to and including 1.2.6. The animated-text shortcode lacks an authorization check (CWE-862), so it renders any published post by ID without validating the post type. An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can read content from non-public custom post types that WordPress hides from direct URLs and the REST API.

Description from the CNA

The Animated Text Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 1.2.6 via the 'animated-text' shortcode. This is due to the atb_shortcode_handler() function fetching an arbitrary post by attacker-supplied ID and, in the 'publish' branch, calling displayContent() with no capability check and no validation that the post's post_type is the plugin's own CPT or is otherwise viewable (is_post_type_viewable()). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the rendered block content of any published post, including posts of non-public custom post types (public=false, show_in_rest=false) that WordPress would otherwise hide from direct URLs and the REST API.
