AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, consider disabling the plugin or restricting REST API access to trusted users only to mitigate unauthorized access.

Description

The Simple Page Access Restriction plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.21 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin's page restriction and view page content.
