Description

The PublishPress Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the Recent Posts block in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.6 due to the block outputting the excerpt or content of password-protected posts without checking whether the post password is required. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read excerpts and content of password-protected posts on any page that displays a Recent Posts block with excerpts enabled.
