Vulnerability Assessment
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only that the vulnerable YMC Filter plugin (version below 3.11.3) be installed and active on an internet-reachable WordPress site with its REST API accessible; per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N there is no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration required - the specific prerequisite is reaching the plugin's unauthorized REST endpoint and supplying the unvalidated query parameter. The practical limiting factor is impact scope: the flaw only exposes the titles and content of non-public posts, so its value to an attacker depends on whether the target site actually keeps sensitive information in private/draft/pending posts; sites with no sensitive unpublished content have little to lose, and sites that block /wp-json/ REST access for anonymous users are not exploitable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low-complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and confidentiality-only impact (no data modification or denial of service), yielding 7.5 (High). A public exploit is reported by WPScan, which raises practical risk because exploitation is trivial and scriptable against any exposed site. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of confirmed active exploitation at this time - POC availability and active exploitation are distinct signals and should not be conflated. No SSVC decision data was supplied. The realistic priority is moderate-to-high for sites that store sensitive content in non-public posts, but the impact ceiling is bounded to disclosure of post titles and content only - there is no code execution, no write access, and no availability impact. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker enumerates a WordPress site, identifies the YMC Filter plugin, and sends a crafted unauthenticated request to its REST API endpoint with a manipulated query parameter. Because a public exploit exists and no authentication or user interaction is required, the attacker scripts the request to retrieve the titles and bodies of private and draft posts - for example harvesting embargoed announcements, unpublished articles, or internal content - across many sites at scale. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026
Information disclosure in the YMC Filter WordPress plugin before 3.11.3 lets unauthenticated remote attackers read the titles and content of private, draft, and other non-public posts by abusing a REST API endpoint that lacks proper authorization and fails to validate a user-supplied query parameter. WPScan reported the flaw, a public exploit exists, and a vendor patch is available; the CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5 reflecting high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade the YMC Filter plugin to version 3.11.3 or later, which is the primary and recommended fix; consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b55ebf9e-a05d-4ae4-b653-da7db63e76d2/ for confirmation. If immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include deactivating the YMC Filter plugin entirely (side effect: any filtering functionality it provides will stop working), or restricting access to the plugin's vulnerable REST API route at the web-server or WAF layer by blocking unauthenticated requests to the plugin's REST namespace under /wp-json/ (side effect: legitimate front-end features that call the endpoint anonymously may break). Avoid storing highly sensitive material in draft/private posts on exposed sites until patched, and review access logs for anomalous REST API queries.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the YMC Filter plugin for WordPress, which exposes one or more endpoints through the WordPress REST API. The root cause is a broken/missing authorization check (a Broken Access Control / missing function-level authorization class issue - no CWE was assigned in the input) combined with insufficient input validation of a user-supplied query parameter. By supplying that parameter to the unprotected REST route, an attacker can coerce the plugin into returning post objects that WordPress would normally restrict to authenticated, capability-bearing users (e.g. posts with status 'private', 'draft', 'pending', or other non-published states). The single CPE provided, cpe:2.3:a:unknown:ymc_filter:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, identifies the product but lists the vendor as 'unknown' and does not bound the version in the CPE itself.
