MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the target site run the Solace Extra plugin at a version before 1.7.2 and that the site contain non-published content (draft, pending, private, or scheduled posts/pages) worth reading. The specific prerequisite is use of the plugin's front-end preview routes, which perform no authorization or post-status checks. No authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are required (PR:N/UI:N/AV:N/AC:L). Limiting factors: impact is confidentiality-only (read access to unpublished content), so value depends on the sensitivity of drafts present; there is no write, modification, or availability impact, and disclosure is bounded to content the plugin's preview routes can render. |
| Impact | Signals are consistent and point to a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue rather than a high-severity emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N = 5.3) describes a straightforward network-reachable, unauthenticated, no-interaction confidentiality-only flaw, which aligns with the CWE-200 information-disclosure classification and the description of unauthenticated preview-route access. CISA SSVC reinforces a measured stance: Exploitation=none (no observed in-the-wild activity), Automatable=yes (a scanner/script can trivially iterate preview routes across many sites), and Technical Impact=partial (read-only exposure, no integrity or availability effect). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit (POC) are provided, so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The 'Automatable: yes' plus PR:N/UI:N combination means opportunistic mass scanning is realistic once a technique is published, but the impact ceiling is limited to disclosure of unpublished/draft content (C:L), not credentials, RCE, or site takeover. No signals conflict; the primary caveat is source depth - the assessment rests on a single WPScan advisory relayed through NVD/EUVD, with no independent vendor advisory text quoted. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker requests the plugin's front-end preview route for a post or page ID that is in draft, pending, private, or scheduled status, and the plugin renders it without checking authorization or post status, returning content WordPress would normally withhold. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and the behavior is scriptable, an attacker could enumerate IDs across a target site (or many sites) to harvest unpublished content. No public proof-of-concept is referenced at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Unauthenticated visitors can read the rendered content of non-published WordPress posts and pages - including drafts, pending, private, and scheduled items - on any site running the Solace Extra plugin before 1.7.2, because the plugin's front-end preview routes omit both authorization and post-status checks. Exploitation is trivial: no credentials, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), though impact is limited to confidentiality, bounded by whatever unpublished content exists on the target site and by what the preview routes can render. There is no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (SSVC exploitation: none) at time of analysis, and a vendor fix is already available in 1.7.2, so this rates as a genuine but low-to-moderate priority information-disclosure issue rather than an emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 1.7.2 - upgrade the Solace Extra plugin to 1.7.2 or later, which is the definitive fix and the only remediation that restores the missing authorization and post-status checks; verify the update actually applied, since WordPress plugin auto-updates are frequently disabled and outdated installations are common. Where an immediate upgrade is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate the plugin entirely, at the cost of losing whatever front-end preview or display functionality it provides. If the plugin must remain active, block anonymous requests to its front-end preview routes at the web server, reverse proxy, or WAF - for example by denying unauthenticated traffic to the preview endpoint and its query parameters - while accepting that route names may change between plugin updates and that this does not fix the underlying code path. A further risk-reduction step is to remove or relocate non-published drafts, private, and scheduled content that is genuinely sensitive until the patch is in place, trading editorial workflow convenience for reduced exposure. Review web access logs for anonymous requests to preview-style URLs as a detection measure, since the vulnerability leaves no other footprint. Consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/2baffcd4-686e-40db-96b3-5abc70a03a5f/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-80333 for vendor confirmation and any updated remediation guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic missing-authorization defect in the CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) family, mapped under WordPress's information-disclosure tag. WordPress gates access to post content through post status - 'publish' content is publicly viewable, while draft, pending, private, and future/scheduled posts are only served to users holding the appropriate capabilities (for example current_user_can('read_post') together with the WordPress is_post_publicly_viewable() style checks). The Solace Extra plugin registers front-end preview routes intended to let editors render a post through the theme outside the admin dashboard, but those routes never verify the caller's identity or inspect the queried object's post status before the theme template is executed and the rendered output returned. Because the route lives on the front end and the preview response is produced by normal template rendering, an anonymous HTTP request that supplies a target post or page identifier receives the same HTML a logged-in editor would see. The Solace Extra plugin supplies the route handler and the rendering path; WordPress core supplies the content model and status semantics that the plugin fails to enforce. Successful exploitation therefore depends both on the plugin version being below 1.7.2 and on the target site actually containing unpublished content of a type the preview route can resolve, which is why the assessed confidentiality impact is Low rather than High. There is no modification, write, or availability component in the assessed vector.

Lifecycle Timeline

The Solace Extra WordPress plugin before 1.7.2 does not perform any authorization or post-status checks on its front-end preview routes, allowing unauthenticated visitors to read the rendered content of non-published posts and pages of any type that WordPress would otherwise not serve.
