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.
