Vulnerability Description
The OpenStation — Desktop Windows, Dock & Virtual Desktops for WP Admin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to read the title, status, date, permalink, and a 300-character content excerpt of any private, draft, pending, or future post, as well as the content and AI-moderation verdicts of unapproved and spam comments. Any authenticated user with the 'read' capability can self-enable the required AI feature by visiting the /openstation/ portal and toggling their own ai.enabled setting via the POST /desktop-mode/v1/os-settings endpoint, removing any practical barrier to exploitation.
