CVE-2024-0592

The Related Posts for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the handle_create_link() function.

This ultimately makes it possible for attackers to view draft and password protected posts.
