Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Page and Post Clone plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.0

Description: The issue allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to clone and read private posts due to missing validation on a user-controlled key in the content clone function. This enables them to access sensitive information they should not have access to.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 6.0, consider disabling the content clone function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to private posts and limit user privileges to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
