CVE-2024-1473Network attack vector

Unauthenticated content disclosure via unguarded REST API

Published Mar 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Improper access control in Colorlib Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode 1.0.99 and earlier allows remote attackers to read hidden posts via the REST API. The plugin redirects ordinary front-end requests to a maintenance page but fails to intercept public wp/v2/posts and wp/v2/pages requests. Exploitation requires maintenance mode to be enabled and public WordPress REST endpoints to contain post or page data, exposing content that the front end is intended to hide.
