Technical details
The plugin does not enforce intended capability checks on several read REST routes, exposing attachment metadata and site statistics to any authenticated user rather than restricting access to administrators. The vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated attacker (subscriber or above) without requiring additional user interaction. The issue stems from discarded or missing permission callbacks in the REST endpoint definitions, allowing information disclosure via the REST API.
