Unauthenticated document disclosure via unchecked REST response
Published Aug 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in WPDeveloper BetterDocs 4.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read protected document data via REST requests. The get_response function omits a capability check before returning passwords for protected documents and metadata for private or draft documents. No account or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of those protected values.
