AI-suggested

Users should monitor the vendor's communications for an official fix. Until a patch is available, consider disabling the plugin or restricting the use of the WordPress core search feature to trusted users only to reduce exposure.

Description

The PPWP – Password Protect Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.5 via the WordPress core search feature. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from posts that have been restricted to higher-level roles such as administrator.
