Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPDash Notes plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.3.5

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the wp ajax post it list comment function, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to view comments on any post, including private and password protected posts, and pending and draft posts if they were previously published.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.5, update to a version that includes the necessary capability check to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wp ajax post it list comment function until a fully patched version is available.
