Draft articles publicly visible from 404 error page

Hello,
I encountered this problem with my website which uses the Newspaper Theme version 8.7.4

If a not logged in users goes to the standard WP-admin page /wp-admin/, he is shown the Error 404 page.
The problem is that this Error 404 pages shows articles that are not published (Draft in WordPress).
Screenshot (Draft articles are those without a photo): 404 Error from wp-admin
If these articles are clicked, they are served a properly-working Error 404 pages, which shows only the latest and actually published articles. Also, if a non existent URL is typed on the URL bar, a properly working 404 Error page is shown.
Screenshot: 404 Error page

So, coming to the question: is this a problem of my website, maybe caused by a plugin or something else?

Thank you,
Diego

Hi,

Only a non logged user would go to the WordPress admin, so he can log in. Upon accessing the website with /wp-admin the WordPress login will appear, not a 404 page

If that is happening for you, there are some topics you can read
