Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 In [changeset:"61297" 61297]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61297"
 Comments: ensure unauthenticated users cannot access the single comment
 endpoint for notes.

 Fix an issue where notes could be accessed by unauthenticated users by
 using the single comment REST API endpoint and passing the comment ID
 (`/wp/v2/comments/<ID>`). This fix only affects the `note` type.

 Reviewed by peterwilsoncc.
 Merges [61276] to the 6.9 branch.

 Props adamsilverstein, peterwilsoncc, westonruter, tharsheblows.
 See #44157.
