Summary
The REST API Log WordPress plugin before 1.7.1 does not bind the token protecting its log download feature to the log entry being requested, nor does it check the capability of the requester, allowing unauthenticated users in possession of any such token to download the logged REST API requests and responses of any entry, which may contain sensitive data such as credentials, authentication tokens or private content.
