What the vulnerability does
The Page Restrict plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.5. 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
Page Restrict versions 2.5.5 and earlier contain a flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive information over the network. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited remotely. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 2.5.5 to mitigate exposure.
What an attacker can do
Read sensitive information from the site without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
