## Description

The weDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the /wp/v2/docs/search REST route in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.1. This is because the route is public and returns the raw title and content of each doc whenever 'context=edit' is requested, without checking that the user can edit the doc. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the content of password-protected docs.
