CVE-2026-12385

Smart Slider 3 <= 3.5.1.37 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Exposure via WP_Query Parameter Injection via 'keyword' Parameter

Published Jul 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.37 via the 'keyword' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract titles and full content excerpts of private, draft, pending, trashed, and auto-draft posts authored by any user, including Administrators and Editors. The required nonce is emitted on /wp-admin/post-new.php, which is accessible to Contributor-level users via the edit_posts capability, meaning any Contributor can obtain the nonce needed to trigger the injection.
