Description

WPGraphQL versions prior to 2.24.1 have a missing authorization vulnerability in the createComment mutation. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to add comments to non-public posts, including drafts, private, trashed, or password-protected posts. Exploitation can lead to leaking hidden post titles via moderator notifications, enumerating post IDs, and manipulating comment metadata such as backdating or marking comments as pingbacks.
