The handle_create_link() handler verifies the nonce and that the current user can edit the parent post, but never checks that the attacker-supplied child post ID is one the user is allowed to read; LinkRepository::insert() stores the arbitrary child ID without validation, and ManageLinks::render() later calls LinkRepository::get_children() in its no-extra-args fast path, which falls through to array_map('get_post', $child_ids) \u2014 bypassing read_private_posts/read_post capability checks \u2014 and then echoes esc_html($child->post_title) in the parent's editor meta box. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the titles of arbitrary non-public posts (drafts, pending, private, future, trashed) authored by higher-privileged users by linking those post IDs to a draft they own and then reading the resulting meta box.\nhttps://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-109979https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/3ab9af6a-bfe7-4da5-8e60-b20f38cbab36?source=cvehttps://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/related-posts-for-wp/tags/3.0.0/src/Admin/LinkScreen/Page.php#L164https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/related-posts-for-wp/tags/3.0.0/src/Links/LinkRepository.php#L86https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/related-posts-for-wp/tags/3.0.0/src/Admin/MetaBox/ManageLinks.php#L98https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/related-posts-for-wp/tags/3.0.0/src/Links/LinkRepository.php#L310https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3757484%40related-posts-for-wp&new=3757484%40related-posts-for-wphttps://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3757484/related-posts-for-wp/trunk/src/Admin/LinkScreen/Page.php#wordpress
