FKIE_CVE-2026-9011
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-22 09:16 - Updated: 2026-07-23 16:10
Severity
Summary
The Ditty – Responsive News Tickers, Sliders, and Lists plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.65. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full item content of non-public Dittys — including drafts, pending, scheduled, and disabled entries — by enumerating integer post IDs against the ditty_init AJAX endpoint. Unlike the non-AJAX init() counterpart, init_ajax() does not verify that the requested Ditty has a 'publish' post status before loading and returning its items, allowing content that administrators explicitly withheld from public view to be extracted.

"value": "El plugin Ditty - Responsive News Tickers, Sliders, and Lists para WordPress es vulnerable a una omisi\u00f3n de autorizaci\u00f3n en todas las versiones hasta la 3.1.65, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no verifica correctamente que un usuario est\u00e1 autorizado para realizar una acci\u00f3n. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados recuperen el contenido completo de los elementos de Dittys no p\u00fablicos -incluyendo borradores, entradas pendientes, programadas y deshabilitadas- al enumerar IDs de publicaciones enteras contra el endpoint AJAX ditty_init. A diferencia de su contraparte init() no-AJAX, init_ajax() no verifica que el Ditty solicitado tenga un estado de publicaci\u00f3n \u0027publish\u0027 antes de cargar y devolver sus elementos, lo que permite extraer contenido que los administradores retuvieron expl\u00edcitamente de la vista p\u00fablica."
