## Description

The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 10.9.1 due to missing password checks on the recipe REST API field, the frontend-format recipe data endpoint, and the recipe JSON-LD metadata (including the Yoast and Rank Math integrations). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read recipe content that is protected by a recipe or parent post password, including the recipe's post_password value through the REST API.
