CVE-2026-78396 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-29

The Link Library WordPress plugin is used to manage and display links on WordPress websites. Versions before 7.10.0 fail to verify that a link belongs to the correct display set, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information like telephone numbers, email addresses, and submitter names that should be hidden. This could lead to privacy breaches and enable targeted attacks against link submitters.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this via a network attack to access sensitive contact and submitter data associated with links that the configuration is set not to display.
