Comment (by stuartfeldt):

 So can we override `get_item_permissions_check` in
 `WP_REST_Attachments_Controller`, and then check if the requested
 attachment id is also set as _thumbnail_id postmeta --  and then if the
 request attachment id is a thumbnail on a published post allow it in the
 wp:featuredmedia response?

 Or is that too much overhead to check all of `wp_postmeta` for each of
 these calls?

 I'm happy to submit a patch if this is an acceptable approach.
