WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Advanced Posts Listing 1.0.3 - 1.0.8 - Unauthenticated Post Metadata Disclosure via REST Endpoint

Description

The plugin does not perform any authorisation check or protected-meta filtering in one of its REST API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the complete metadata of any published post or page, including values that WordPress deliberately withholds from its own REST API.
