Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via insufficient authorization checks on post excerpt retrieval, which allows an authenticated site member to read the excerpts of gated posts they do not have access to. An attacker with a valid member account can access content excerpts that should be restricted by the site's membership tiers or access controls.
