Reader displays entirety of friend's protected posts without password
-
The wordpress Reader displays the entirety of my friend’s protected posts even though I have never typed in the password. Only if I try to click through to the post, then it will ask me for the password.
This is a serious security issue and I would like to protect the privacy of my friend.

Thanks, but I’m sorry, but i should not be Disclosing the website of a friend whose privacy of posts I’m trying to protect? Giving me the benefit of the doubt that the problem I’ve described is real, how would one go about solving it?

Macmanx is staff. Maybe give him the username of the blogger and he can find which blogs they own which are private.

Yeah, I’ll need to know what the blog is to work on duplicating the issue. It means that we can find and fix the problem in about 1/10th of the time it would take without.
If you aren’t comfortable posting the URL here, please let me know at least the username.

I just noticed that our Security team received an email from you, so they’ll be following up with you via email.

I’m having the same problem. All that happens is “protected” shows up next to the title.
Am looking forward to the resolution! Aloha -
