AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, consider disabling the Maintenance Page plugin or restricting REST API access during maintenance mode to prevent unauthorized information disclosure.
Description
The Maintenance Page plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Basic Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view post titles and content when the site is in maintenance mode.
