## Description

The Real Testimonials – Testimonial Slider, Collect Customer Reviews and Video Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the [sp_real_template] saved template shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.0. This is due to the shortcode rendering any published post ID without checking that the post is a saved template or that it is password protected. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to read the content of password-protected posts and of published posts of other post types.
