AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, consider disabling the WP Maintenance plugin or restricting REST API access through other means to prevent unauthorized content exposure.

Description

The WP Maintenance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.6 via the REST API. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin's maintenance mode obtain post and page content via REST API.
