This is due to the atb_shortcode_handler() function fetching an arbitrary post by attacker-supplied ID and, in the 'publish' branch, calling displayContent() with no capability check and no validation that the post's post_type is the plugin's own CPT or is otherwise viewable (is_post_type_viewable()). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the rendered block content of any published post, including posts of non-public custom post types (public=false, show_in_rest=false) that WordPress would otherwise hide from direct URLs and the REST API.","severity":"high","score":7.5,"published":"2026-10-28T03:42:54.035Z","modified":"2026-10-28T03:42:54.035Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/7163be31-8f55-45ba-8364-e84a3e636d5b?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/animated-text-block/tags/1.2.6/plugin.php#L142","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/animated-text-block/tags/1.2.6/plugin.php#L132","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/animated-text-block/tags/1.2.6/plugin.php#L163","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3767751%40animated-text-block&new=3767751%40animated-text-block"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-116613","modified":"2026-10-28T03:42:54.035Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-116613"}],"assessments":[{"source":"Wordfence","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5}],"sourceAffected":[],"kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T02:25:31.980Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"not-checked"}],"evidence":[]}
