Descriptions

The Page Restriction WordPress (WP) – Protect WP Pages/Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting access to pages via the REST API when a page has been made private. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view protected pages. The vendor has decided that they will not implement REST API protection on posts and pages and the restrictions will only apply to the front-end of the site. The vendors solution was to add notices throughout the dashboard and recommends installing the WordPress REST API Authentication plugin for REST API coverage.

El complemento Page Restriction WordPress (WP) – Protect WP Pages/Post para WordPress es vulnerable a la divulgación de información en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.4 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no restringe adecuadamente el acceso a las páginas a través de la API REST cuando una página se ha hecho privada. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados vean páginas protegidas. El proveedor ha decidido que no implementará la protección de la API REST en publicaciones y páginas y que las restricciones solo se aplicarán al front-end del sitio. La solución del proveedor fue agregar avisos en todo el panel y recomienda instalar el complemento de autenticación de API REST de WordPress para la cobertura de API REST.
