Unauthenticated content disclosure via REST API bypass
Published Feb 3, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in Anonymous Restricted Content 1.6.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to read protected posts and pages through the REST API. The plugin's REST API handling returns post and page content without applying the access restrictions configured for those resources. No authentication is required, and the documented impact is limited to disclosure of content that site administrators marked as restricted.
