Description
Given two posts, A (public) and B (private), core currently lets a user assign a featured image to A which has been uploaded to B. However, the REST API's permissions model is such that the featured image can't be queried unless B is public. A unauthenticated client expects to be able to query a featured image assigned to a published post, regardless of which post it was uploaded to.
