Unauthenticated restricted-content disclosure via WordPress search
Published Dec 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in miniOrange Page and Post Restriction 1.3.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to read restricted posts through search. The plugin omits its page and post authorization filters from WordPress search and search REST API response paths, allowing protected matches to enter anonymous results. Exploitation requires searchable restricted content, and the consequence is disclosure of that content without authentication.
