## Description

The WPGraphQL plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.26.0 due to editorial notes (comments of type 'note') not being treated as private in the Comment model. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, and users who cannot edit the notes, to read internal editorial notes left on content through GraphQL comment queries.
