Summary

WPGraphQL before 2.24.1 has a missing authorization flaw in its createComment mutation (CWE-862). An unauthenticated remote attacker can attach comments to draft, private, trashed, or password-protected posts by bypassing post status checks. This lets attackers leak hidden post titles through moderator notifications, enumerate post IDs, and backdate comments or mark them as pingbacks.
