Last modified

CVE-2026-12434 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The List category posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 0.95.0 via the sanitize_status. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract titles, full content, excerpts, dates, authors, and custom-field metadata of other users' pending-review, scheduled, and trashed posts by embedding a crafted [catlist] shortcode in their own draft and previewing it. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
