## Description

The WordLift plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the 'wl_chord' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.54.17, due to a missing check that the post referenced by the user-supplied 'post_id' parameter is public or readable by the current user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the title, post type, link and featured image of any post, including drafts and private posts, together with the published entities linked to it, on sites that display the chord shortcode on a public page, which gives visitors the action's nonce.
