Description
The Ghost Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the get_templates and get_template_data REST API routes in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.2, due to the routes using '__return_true' as their permission callback and get_template_data returning the content of any ghostkit_template post by ID without checking its status or the requester's read permission. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the title and content of draft, pending and private Ghost Kit templates.
