TL;DR

The wp_ajax_zoninator_search_posts handler was previously reachable by any authenticated user and returned information about scheduled (future) posts, enabling an authorization-bypass style information disclosure. Additionally, the REST GET /wp-json/zoninator/v1/zones endpoint now requires a logged-in user by default via get_zones_permissions_check, preventing anonymous access unless restored by an explicit filter.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
