CVE-2026-11983

The Ad Inserter plugin for WordPress contains a security flaw affecting all versions up to 2.8.16, allowing unauthorized users to access sensitive information about ad blocks that are supposed to be visible only to administrators due to inadequate permission checks in the `ai_ajax` function. This oversight enables malicious individuals to bypass intended access controls and view restricted data.
