Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The JM Twitter Cards plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 14 via the meta description data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view password protected post content when viewing the page source.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The JM Twitter Cards WordPress plugin (versions up to 14) improperly exposes meta description content from password-protected posts. When a page containing Twitter card meta tags is viewed, unauthenticated attackers can view the page source to extract the protected content that should not be accessible without the password.

MitigationUpdate the JM Twitter Cards plugin to version 15 or later, which should contain a fix that prevents password-protected post content from being included in meta description tags.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify JM Twitter Cards plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'JM Twitter Cards' in the list of active plugins.
    Affected if The JM Twitter Cards plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In the Plugins list, locate JM Twitter Cards and note the version number displayed beneath the plugin name. Compare this version to the affected range (< 14.1.0).
    Affected if The installed version is 14.0.0 or any version below 14.1.0.
  3. Identify password-protected posts
    In WordPress admin, go to Posts > All Posts. Look for posts marked with a padlock icon, which indicates password protection. Alternatively, query the database: SELECT ID, post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_password != '' AND post_status = 'publish';
    Affected if There are published posts that have password protection enabled (non-empty post_password field).
  4. Inspect page source for exposed meta description
    Visit a password-protected post in a browser (without entering the password). Right-click and select 'View Page Source' or press Ctrl+U. Look for the <meta name="description" content="..."> tag. Examine whether the content attribute contains text that should only be visible after entering the password.
    Affected if The meta description tag contains substantive content from the password-protected post that should not be accessible without authentication.

A user is affected if JM Twitter Cards plugin version below 14.1.0 is installed AND password-protected posts exist AND the page source reveals protected content in the meta description tag.
