Vulnerability Overview

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.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.6.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.
