Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE CVE-2026-7526
CVSS 4.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published May 27, 2026

Researcher Dmitrii Ignatyev - CleanTalk Inc

Description

The PDF Embedder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.3 via the enqueue_block_assets. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract configuration data. License key exposure occurs when the premium add-on is also installed and has saved a key; on Lite-only installations, the exposed data is limited to non-sensitive viewer configuration values such as width, height, toolbar settings, usage tracking, and plan.
