 "title": "Better Messages <= 3.0.14 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Sensitive Information Exposure of Pending Moderation Messages via 'lazyPool' REST Endpoint",
 "description": "The Better Messages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the better-messages/v1/lazyPool REST endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.14, due to a missing check of whether a requested message is still held for pre-moderation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above who take part in a conversation to read messages that other members sent before a moderator approved them.",
