Description
The Advanced Post Block – Display Posts, Pages, or Custom Posts on Your Page plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the apbPosts() function hooked via an AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve all post data, including those that may be password protected.
