## Description

The Starfish Review Generation & Marketing for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the starfish_feedback REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.31, due to the access check comparing the request route case-sensitively while WordPress matches REST routes case-insensitively, and the feedback post type using the default posts controller, which lets anyone read published records. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to request a differently cased route, such as /wp/v2/STARFISH_FEEDBACK, and read feedback records, including the feedback messages visitors submitted and their submission dates.
