Unauthorized arbitrary project file access in SP Project & Document Manager for WordPress
CVE-2026-10737 affects the SP Project & Document Manager plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 4.71. The vulnerability is caused by a missing capability check in the view_file function, combined with flawed authorization logic. Specifically, the access-control gate uses a negated nonce check OR-chained with capability and ownership checks, so if the nonce is missing or invalid, the overall condition evaluates in a way that bypasses the intended permission validation. A secondary fallback check only blocks access to root-level files where pid == 0, but does not protect files stored inside project folders. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted POST request to admin-ajax.php with a valid file ID and retrieve file metadata and download links for arbitrary files stored in project folders, potentially exposing sensitive information.
