 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  REST API      |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  rest-api      |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Version:
 5.2.4

 Steps to reproduce:
 - Create a post
 - Upload a featured image to it
 - Save the post and then send it to trash
 - Create a second post
 - Use the same featured image as the trashed post
 - Save the post
 - Try to access the media through /wp-json/wp/v2/media/<id>

 The result will be
 {"code":"rest_forbidden","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to do
 that.","data":{"status":401}}

 Expectation would be to have the featured image data
