Authenticated editor-content disclosure via unchecked REST routes
Published Aug 1, 2026 · Updated Aug 1, 2026
Missing authorization in Advanced Views 3.9.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read admin-authored editor content. The view-refresh and card-refresh REST routes registered by register_rest_routes return Layout or Post Selection content without verifying an administrative capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to retrieve template markup, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP controller variables for any such object.
