Summary
The MembershipWorks plugin for WordPress is affected, allowing unauthenticated visitors to read member-only content through the WordPress REST API that should be restricted to paying or logged-in members. This bypasses the plugin's content protection and exposes restricted posts and pages to anyone.

Read the original description
The MembershipWorks plugin for WordPress before 6.17 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access member-only content through the WordPress REST API. Because the filter that strips protected content for non-members is only attached during normal front-end request handling and not during REST API requests, an unauthenticated attacker can retrieve the raw member-only content in a post or page’s rendered content, bypassing the plugin’s content protection.
