Overview

CVE-2026-7526 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

The PDF Embedder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.3 via the enqueue_block_assets. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract configuration data. License key exposure occurs when the premium add-on is also installed and has saved a key; on Lite-only installations, the exposed data is limited to non-sensitive viewer configuration values such as width, height, toolbar settings, usage tracking, and plan.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
