Description
The WPGraphQL plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.24.0 due to the Post model only requiring the edit_posts capability, rather than edit_others_posts, to view content in the trash. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of trashed posts authored by other users through GraphQL queries.
