Description
The Newspack Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the api_get_all_authors and get_authors REST API endpoints in versions up to, and including, 3.0.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to retrieve author data.
