Contributor disclosure via unauthorized post cloning

Published Jan 24, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Incorrect authorization in WP Post Page Clone before 1.2 allows remote authenticated users to read protected post content by cloning it. The dashboard clone action duplicates a selected post without verifying that the requesting account is authorized to access the source post. Contributor access is sufficient to expose another author's draft or password-protected content through the editable clone.
