WordPress · List Category Posts · CVE-2026-12434
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
List category posts plugin for WordPress versions prior to 0.96.0
**Description**
Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can extract sensitive data from other users' pending-review, scheduled, and trashed posts. This is achieved by embedding a crafted `[catlist]` shortcode in a draft and previewing it, which exploits a flaw in the `sanitize status` function. The exposed information includes post titles, full content, excerpts, dates, authors, and custom-field metadata.
**Recommendations**
Update the List category posts plugin for WordPress to version 0.96.0 or later.
