Unauthenticated protected-content disclosure via WordPress search
Published Nov 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in wp.insider Simple Membership 4.5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read protected post content through search. The WordPress search-query path omits an access check that excludes protected posts when the current visitor lacks the required membership level. No authentication or user interaction is required; exposure is limited to protected content discoverable through search.
