{"id":"CVE-2026-9008","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Page-list <= 6.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Disclosure via Shortcode Attributes","description":"The Page-list plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.2. This is due to the pagelist_unqprfx_ext_shortcode() function (the [pagelist_ext] / [pagelistext] shortcode) accepting attacker-controlled post_status, post_type, and show_meta_key attributes and passing them directly into get_pages() and get_post_meta() with no capability check verifying that the rendering user is permitted to read the matched objects. When the current post has no child pages, the shortcode re-issues the query with child_of => 0, broadening it to every page on the site matching the supplied status/type. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to disclose the titles, body content/excerpts, and arbitrary post meta of unrelated private and draft pages by inserting the shortcode into a contributor-authored draft and previewing it.","publishedAt":"2026-06-06T01:26:08.984Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-06T11:45:22.259Z","severity":{"score":4.3,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["webvitaly Page-list"],"affected":[{"vendor":"webvitaly","product":"Page-list","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.2","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/22defe19-28ac-43b3-814d-5a2038380adb?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/page-list/tags/5.9/page-list.php#L301","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/page-list/tags/5.9/page-list.php#L303","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/page-list/tags/5.9/page-list.php#L383","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/page-list/tags/5.9/page-list.php#L188","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3552931%40page-list&new=3552931%40page-list&sfp_email=&sfph_mail="],"weaknesses":["CWE-862"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:13:52.441Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/9xxx/CVE-2026-9008.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-9008","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-06-06T01:26:08.984Z","dateUpdated":"2026-06-06T11:45:22.259Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-05-19T14:06:40.464Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Page-list <= 6.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Disclosure via Shortcode Attributes","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"The Page-list plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.
