Protected-post disclosure via unauthenticated AJAX actions
Published Apr 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 31, 2024
Improper access control in PickPlugins Post Grid and ComboBlocks before 2.2.76 allows remote attackers to read password-protected posts. The post_grid_paginate_ajax_free and post_grid_ajax_search_free AJAX actions return protected posts without enforcing their passwords. A site must contain password-protected posts reachable through an affected grid or search action; the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of those posts.
