Vulnerability Overview

WordPress Core is vulnerable to information disclosure via a REST-API endpoint in versions up to 6.0.3. The endpoint for terms and tags did not perform enough validation on the user requesting information about terms and tags for a given post. This made it possible for users with access to terms and tags, such as a contributor, to determine those details on all posts not belonging to them, even when in a private status. This does not reveal critical information, and as such it is not likely to be exploited.
