Description
The bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.18. Topics and replies in private and hidden forums keep a public post status, so WordPress's oEmbed REST endpoint and its ?p= canonical redirect treat them as publicly viewable. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate post IDs and obtain the titles, permalinks and author names of topics and replies in private or hidden forums.
