Greenshift <= 12.8.3 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Private Reusable Block Disclosure via 'gspb_el_reusable_load'
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 12.8.3. This is due to missing authorization and post status validation in the `gspb_el_reusable_load()` AJAX handler. The handler accepts an arbitrary `post_id` parameter and renders the content of any `wp_block` post without checking `current_user_can('read_post', $post_id)` or verifying the post status. Combined with the nonce being exposed to unauthenticated users on any public page using the `[wp_reusable_render]` shortcode with `ajax="1"`, this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the rendered HTML content of private, draft, or password-protected reusable blocks.
