An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16957 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Slim SEO. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16957/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16957/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16957","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16957/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16957","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c8x4-7vmf-m6pv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Contributors can read arbitrary post meta data, including private keys, from published posts they do not own due to insufficient authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":2.7,"severity":"low","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"The Slim SEO  WordPress plugin before 4.9.11 does not restrict a post-meta preview feature to posts the user is allowed to edit, verifying only read access, allowing users with the Contributor role to read arbitrary post meta, including protected and private keys, of published posts they do not own, including password-protected posts and posts of non-public post types.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Slim SEO \u003c 4.9.11 - Contributor+ Arbitrary Post Meta Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16957","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16958"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Db2 Mirror for i is vulnerable to OS command injection []","id":"CVE-2026-16956"},"products":["Slim SEO"],"published":"2026-08-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can read arbitrary post meta data, including private keys, from published posts they do not own due to insufficient authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16957/"}
