## Description

The weDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the 'wedocs_get_docs' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.1. This is because the docs search handler returns full post objects, including the post_password and post_content fields, to any visitor, and the nonce it checks is printed on the front end. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the content and passwords of password-protected docs.
