Description
The bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via single reply pages and public reply listings in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.19, due to a missing check on the visibility of a reply's parent topic. A single reply was rendered whenever the reply itself had a public status, even when its parent topic was not public (for example, a topic held for or returned to moderation), and public main-query reply listings did not exclude such replies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the content of replies that belong to non-public topics.
