CVE-2026-17517: Unknown Content Views

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Content Views WordPress plugin before 4.5.1.2 does not check whether the user requesting a view is allowed to read the posts it returns, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain the title and content of non-public posts, such as draft, pending, private and scheduled posts, when a view has been configured to include them.
