# PublishPress Revisions WordPress plugin: contributors can copy other users' private posts

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118187 (this .md is for agents)

The PublishPress Revisions WordPress plugin before 4.3.1 does not check that a user may access a specific post before duplicating or revising it. A contributor-level account can duplicate another user's private, draft, pending or scheduled post into one they own and read its full content.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of the PublishPress Revisions plugin in the WordPress admin plugin list, or in `wp plugin list` if WP-CLI is available.
- Confirm whether any contributor-level or higher accounts exist that are not fully trusted.

## Fix

- PublishPress Revisions: `4.3.1` or later (the fixed version named in the description).

## Timeline

## From the sources

The PublishPress Revisions: Duplicate Posts, Submit, Approve and Schedule Content Changes WordPress plugin before 4.3.1 does not verify that a user requesting to duplicate or revise a post has access to that specific post, only that they can edit posts of that type, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to duplicate another user's private, draft, pending or scheduled post into one they own and read its full content.
