Executive Summary

CVE-2026-111034 is a vulnerability in the Countdown, Coming Soon, Maintenance WordPress plugin version 3.0.8 or lower. It allows any authenticated user, including subscribers, to list the titles of published posts from any post type via an AJAX action called select2Ajax. The plugin does not check user permissions before returning these titles, exposing content that WordPress normally restricts based on user roles.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if unauthenticated or low-privilege users can access post titles via the select2Ajax AJAX action. Use browser developer tools to inspect network requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with the action parameter set to select2Ajax. Alternatively, use WPScan with the command: wpscan --url <your-site> --enumerate vp,vt --plugins-detection aggressive.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow unauthorized users to view post titles that should be restricted, such as private or draft content from custom post types not normally visible to them. This may lead to information leakage, compromising sensitive data or internal content structure.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the plugin to the latest version above 3.0.8. If an update is unavailable, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Restrict user roles by ensuring only necessary permissions are assigned. Monitor logs for suspicious AJAX requests to admin-ajax.php with the select2Ajax action.
