  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: March 7, 2025

The Post Lockdown plugin for WordPress has a security issue that affects all versions up to and including 4.0.2. This vulnerability involves the ‘pl_autocomplete’ AJAX action, which does not have enough restrictions on which posts can be accessed. As a result, attackers who are logged in and have at least Subscriber-level access can view data from password-protected, private, or draft posts that they shouldn’t be able to see.
