AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, consider disabling the plugin or restricting REST API access via other means to prevent unauthorized content access.

Description

The My Private Site plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.14 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin's site privacy feature and view restricted page and post content.
