Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown SmartCrawl SEO checker, analyzer \u0026 optimizer. 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-2026-16979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16979/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rx4h-9w25-87vh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can read private post titles and enumerate meta keys due to missing capability checks in SmartCrawl plugin AJAX actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 SmartCrawl SEO checker, analyzer \u0026 optimizer WordPress plugin before 3.16.3 does not perform capability checks on two of its AJAX actions, allowing users with at least the Subscriber role to read the titles of private and draft posts by ID and to enumerate stored post-meta key names.","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":"SmartCrawl \u003c 3.16.3 - Subscriber+ Private/Draft Post Title Disclosure and Post Meta Key Enumeration","id":"CVE-2026-16979","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-2026-16980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Form Maker by 10Web \u003c 1.15.45 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection via display_name","id":"CVE-2026-16977"},"products":["SmartCrawl SEO checker, analyzer \u0026 optimizer"],"published":"2026-08-19","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":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Subscribers can read private post titles and enumerate meta keys due to missing capability checks in SmartCrawl plugin AJAX actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16979/"}
