Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16983 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Gutentor. 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-2026-16983/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16983/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16983","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16983/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16983","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7q42-5fr7-h957"],"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":"Authenticated subscribers can retrieve plaintext passwords of protected posts via an insecure REST API endpoint in the Gutentor WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The Gutentor  WordPress plugin before 4.0.6 does not apply the correct context restriction to one of its REST endpoints, exposing the plaintext passwords of password-protected posts to any authenticated user with at least the Subscriber role.","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":"Gutentor \u003c 4.0.6 - Subscriber+ Password Protected Post Password Disclosure via REST API","id":"CVE-2026-16983","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP Legal Pages \u003c 3.7.1 - Unauthenticated API Secret Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16984"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Host Servers","id":"CVE-2026-16982"},"products":["Gutentor"],"published":"2026-09-02","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":"2026-09-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can retrieve plaintext passwords of protected posts via an insecure REST API endpoint in the Gutentor WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16983/"}
