What the vulnerability does

01Description

The WP Private Content Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.6. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting access to posts via the REST API when a page has been made private. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view protected posts.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

WP Private Content Plus versions 3.6 and earlier contain a protection mechanism flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive information. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 3.6 to prevent unauthorized disclosure of private content.
