Mapster WP Maps exposes draft, private and trashed posts through REST
Mapster WP Maps before 1.24.0 exposes a public REST endpoint that retrieves posts without checking authorization or post status. An unauthenticated visitor can select any post and receive its title and full content even when it is draft, pending, private or trashed. The published record does not disclose the REST route, post-ID parameter, permission callback or record-loading function.

Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Mapster WP Maps to 1.24.0 or later. Review REST access for enumeration of unpublished post identifiers, determine which content may have been returned, rotate secrets embedded in drafts, and handle disclosed private material according to the site's privacy obligations.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
The Mapster WP Maps WordPress plugin before 1.24.0 does not perform any authorization or post-status check on a public REST endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the title and full content of any post regardless of its status, including unpublished (draft, pending, private, and trashed) posts.
