Does this only occur on a Realm or does it also occur in a locally hosted world?

Many players find this Bug Report Creation Form useful for filling in all helpful information.

To answer the mods question: I have tested this and it does NOT happen in locally hosted worlds, only on Realms.

Here it is using the bug report form:

Players set to Visitor mode on a Bedrock Realm, with default settings, have the unwanted ability to attract mobs, allowing malicious visitors to drag creepers to builds and cause damage.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In a realm (default settings) with multiple players connected, have the realm owner set a player to Visitor status

2. Wait until night

3. Ask the Visitor to go near spawned creeper

Observed Results:

Observe the creeper (or all hostile mobs) can target and attack the Visitor. Creeper will blow up and damage area around the Visitor as well as killing them.

Expected Results:
Hostile mobs should not see or target the Visitor.

Screenshots/Videos attached: N/A
