Technical details
The vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) located in the replace_ai_tags() function of the Ad Inserter plugin. The function processes a {reusable-block-N} tag pattern by calling get_post_field('post_content', N) without implementing proper authorization checks such as current_user_can('read_post'). Additionally, the plugin fails to restrict the post type to 'wp_block' or verify the post status. An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level permissions can exploit this by placing a crafted shortcode in a post they control and previewing it to retrieve the content of any post ID. A patch was released in version 2.8.17.
