# WPGraphQL plugin: contributors can read other users' unpublished posts

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-123707 (this .md is for agents)

The WPGraphQL WordPress plugin does not restrict access to posts in custom non-public post statuses. A logged-in user with the Contributor role or higher can read the content of other users' posts in those statuses.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed WPGraphQL version in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or with `wp plugin get wp-graphql --field=version`
- Look for custom post statuses that are not public on your site
- Confirm whether WPGraphQL is exposed to logged-in users

## Fix

- WPGraphQL: move to `2.27.1` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-15T07:36:11+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-123707

## From the sources

The WPGraphQL WordPress plugin before 2.27.1 does not restrict access to posts in custom non-public post statuses, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to read the content of other users' posts in those statuses.
