CVE-2024-0965Network attack vector

Restricted content disclosure via unfiltered REST API responses

Published Feb 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Improper access control in Simple Page Access Restriction 1.0.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to read restricted content via the REST API. The plugin applies its logged-in-user restriction to normal page visits but does not filter REST API responses for posts marked as restricted. The gate is a network-reachable WordPress REST API and a post or page marked for logged-in users; the reported consequence is read-only disclosure.
