Summary

The Restrict User Access WordPress plugin before version 2.8.1 does not normalize the REST API route before checking it against the routes covered by its content protection, allowing unauthenticated users to bypass that protection and read restricted content and enumerate users.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves unauthorized access to protected content and disclosure of user lists, potentially compromising data confidentiality and privacy.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Restrict User Access plugin to version 2.8.1 or later, which includes the fix for REST route normalization.
