What the vulnerability does
The WP Headless CMS Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to protection mechanism bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.15. This is due to the plugin only checking for the existence of the Authorization header in a request when determining if the nonce protection should be bypassed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access content they should not have access to.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP Headless CMS Framework versions 1.15 and earlier contain a protection mechanism bypass that exposes sensitive information. An attacker on the network can read non-public data without authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability affects the framework's core security controls and may impact confidentiality of stored information.
What an attacker can do
Read sensitive information from the site without logging in.
Potential impact on your site
