Operationally, ranked in the top 4.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The File Manager for Google Drive – Integrate Google Drive with WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure in all versions up to and including 1.5.3 via the get_localize_data function. This exposes Google OAuth credentials including client_id and client_secret values along with associated Google account email addresses.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the flaw over the network without any privileges or user interaction to extract the credentials and emails, enabling potential abuse of the linked Google Drive integrations. The vulnerability is rated 7.5 under CVSS 3.1 with a high confidentiality impact.
References point to the vulnerable code paths in the plugin's class-enqueue.php file and a subsequent changeset that updated the plugin to address the exposure, along with a detailed entry in the Wordfence threat intelligence database.
The EPSS score rose materially from a low starting point to a peak of 0.3518 on 2026-01-13 before receding to the current value of 0.1810, indicating that exploitation interest emerged after disclosure.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Automated marking applies security attributes to system outputs, making it harder for attackers to exploit unmarked sensitive information leading to unauthorized exposure.
Proper attribute retention and permitted-value enforcement limits unauthorized actors from accessing sensitive information lacking correct labels.
Prevents unauthorized exposure of sensitive information by prohibiting untrusted external systems from processing or storing it.
By enforcing authorization matching prior to sharing, the control reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
Review and removal of nonpublic information from publicly accessible systems directly prevents exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
Data mining protection mechanisms detect and block unauthorized bulk extraction of sensitive data, directly mitigating exposure to unauthorized actors.
Literacy training teaches users to recognize and avoid actions that result in unauthorized exposure of sensitive information.
Retaining and monitoring training records confirms personnel have completed privacy and security awareness training on handling sensitive data, reducing the chance of unauthorized exposure due to lack of knowledge.
