The vulnerability stems from the plugin\u0026rsquo;s failure to properly verify user authorization when handling requests to the \u003ccode\u003editty_init\u003c/code\u003e AJAX endpoint. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full item content of non-public Dittys, including those marked as drafts, pending, scheduled, or disabled. By enumerating integer post IDs and sending requests to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint, attackers can bypass intended access restrictions, potentially exposing sensitive information or proprietary content that administrators have explicitly withheld from public view.
