blackmailable
Has compromising secrets
Blackmailable describes someone or something vulnerable to blackmail—capable of being coerced through threats to reveal damaging information.
A person with secrets is blackmailable; so is the secret itself: His affair made him blackmailable.
The word implies leverage exists, whether or not anyone exploits it.
