Description
The Co-Authors Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure via the /wp/v2/coauthors REST API input in versions 3.5 and 3.5.1. This is due to insufficient capability checking that allows unauthorized users to access the endpoint and retrieve guest authors email addresses.
